A-Level results row: What happens to students without any grades?
Earlier this week, the government U-turned on A-Level results, abandoning the use of an algorithm to award grades in favour of teacher-assed grades, but thereβs now a cohort of students who donβt have any grades at all.
Around 20,000 students - 2% of the total - have neither been upgraded or downgraded, but are completely without results due to having no CAGs - centrally assessed grades.
Thatβs because theyβre external candidates: students who have been homeschooled, those who have dealt with illness or bereavement or those who had been resitting exams.
What happens to these students without any grades?
Policy Editor Lewis Goodall reports.
