So it’s reasonable to question whether the Boris Johnson and the UK Conservatives would take the same view that exams “could and should” go ahead.
The alternative grading system in Scotland will be moderated. However it won’t be based on a statistical model or on past performance of the school. It is hard to see how grades will be aligned without some sort of model. Presumably no one in any government will be talking about algorithms for a while yet. Consistency of grading can only be done, surely, if it is peer ranked and there’s no indication how that might be achieved beyond sampling the assessment marking by teachers.
