Shadow education secretary Kate Green will urge ministers not to repeat the mistakes of the last two years as she raises concerns about “striking inconsistencies” in the process used to assess pupils’ grades. The warning came as Labour released an analysis which suggests that the average Year 10 pupil has missed nearly one in four days of face-to-face GCSE or Btec teaching this school year amid the pandemic.
