No a-levels/gcse 2020 due to coronavirus

As Boris Johnson has just announced, A-levels and GCSE's this summer are cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak. What are your opinions on this and on what basis do you think they will award our qualifications?

i’m so scared coz i know that i underperformed in some of my gcses in class and on various assessments that the school gave us including mocks. not because i’m stupid but just coz i didn’t think they mattered and i barely revised. i already stared revising for the real thing tho and i was planning on improving my all of my grades significantly. i feel like i’m being punished :frown:

Let’s go on holiday

I am sadddddddd. Because if they give our mock results im going to be so frustrated because i didnt work hard for my mocks and i know i would have done better in my gcses. Plus a lot of people cheated on their mocks so its not a true reflection on what a student can do. I just want them to do the exams later

If they're awarded based on predicted grades I fear there's the propensity for it to emphasise institutional racism within the education system. Anyone who's studied sociology will have learned that, although it's not necessarily intentional, prejudice about race and class can cloud judgment when awarding things like predicted grades.
