WJEC (the Welsh board) cancel all GCSEs/A level for 2021

Post by Daogroupie »

Will the other boards follow their example?

Edexcel already has their provisional timetable out for GCSE's and A Levels for Summer 2021. DG

Other Boards would have largely similar timetable, specially for the core subjects.

I know my son prefers to do GCSE at the end of the year as planned. Looking at the assessment they still have to sit them like an exam and will be sent off to be marked. There will be a lot of questions how they will compare with the English GCSE results when applying to universities

WJEC is part of Eduqas and pupils sitting WJEC GCSEs and A levels in England are scheduled to go ahead as normal, albeit 3 weeks later than usual. The pupils at my DH's school sit WJEC exams in a few subjects.

Does the Welsh administration / WJEC specify the order in which topics must be taught? If not, then presumably their 'not' A / AS / GCSE exams, to be taken in what is almost certainly 'trying to get through the syllabus' time, will have to have an awful lot of options re questions to be answered.
