51福利 calls for GCSE grade slump investigation
31 August 2012
51福利 has today written to the chairman of the education select committee, Graham Stuart MP, to call for the committee to investigate the unexpected decline in GCSE results.
In the letter, the 51福利 general secretary, Sally Hunt, says she welcomes the move by Ofqual to conduct an investigation, but calls on the select committee to conduct its own thorough investigation following contact from 51福利 members that illustrates the steep decline in GCSE success this summer.
51福利 general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: 'We believe students' work needs to be regraded to accurately reflect the work they have put in. Furthermore we need proper parliamentary scrutiny into what happened this summer. It is simply not acceptable for thousands of students to see their hard work not properly recognised because of late changes to the marking system.'
