Education (Careers Guidance in Schools) Bill

"My hon. Friend is being very generous. He is making a powerful speech, and I commend him on the Bill. He mentions technical education, and of course the Baker clause mandated more careers advice on vocational, technical education. I look at the Bill enviously—I will make a speech on it …..."

Education (Careers Guidance in Schools) Bill

"My hon. Friend makes a very valid point, and he has done so far more eloquently than I will in the next few minutes. I am conscious of the next private Member’s Bill—my hon. Friend the Member for Darlington (Peter Gibson) is sitting next to me—so I will not go …..."

Education (Careers Guidance in Schools) Bill

"My hon. Friend makes an excellent point. I very rarely find SNP Members quiet, and it is a great privilege today to find them quiet. I will say that, of course, the border between Scotland and England is very different. A lot of the education delivered in Montgomeryshire is delivered …..."

Written Question
Assessments: Coronavirus
Monday 22nd June 2020

Asked by: Craig Williams (Conservative - Montgomeryshire)

Question to the Department for Education:

What steps his Department is taking to ensure that students due to sit exams in academic year 2019-20 will be able to progress into employment or the next stage of education.

Answered by Nick Gibb

Ofqual, the independent qualifications regulator, has put in place arrangements that will enable students to receive a grade wherever possible.

The calculated grades awarded this summer will be formal grades, with the same status as grades awarded in any other year. They will therefore be accepted by all institutions.

University representatives have already confirmed that they expect universities to do all they can to support students and ensure they can progress to higher education.

Students who cannot get a grade or would like the opportunity to improve their grades will be able to sit exams in the autumn.
