Teachers demand further detail on exams changes Minister Peter Weir is under pressure to cancel exams next summer 17 December, 2020 01:00
TEACHERS are demanding urgent further detail on changes to exams - with the education minister still under pressure to scrap A-level and GCSE papers.
This includes the opportunity for pupils to omit units, more generous grading and significant reductions in content.
There will also be a reserve series in July for A-level candidates who miss papers through illness or self-isolating.
Exams due to be held next summer have been cancelled for pupils in Scotland and Wales.
The NASUWT said while addressing some uncertainty, Mr Weir s measures did not go far enough.
