TThe schools minister said teachers would have to show evidence of the grades they give, as part of checks against grade inflation.
Nick Gibb told BBC Breakfast: “Teachers will be required to submit evidence and the second layer of quality assurance is verification by examination boards.”
“So if the scores when they are submitted, if in a particular school they look very out of line with the achievements of that school in the past, that will be a signal for the review board to pay more attention, maybe pay a visit to that school to make sure that the evidence the teacher has gathered to justify that rating really justifies that rating. “
When asked if he agreed that the ratings would be inflated this year, Gibb replied, “Well, that’s why we’ve put all these different verification mechanisms in place to make sure there is consistency. But it is very important that the pandemic does not prevent the students move on to the next stage of their careers, whether it’s college or learning, so we want to make sure that despite the disruption students have faced, they will still be able to make progress. “
