GCSE Results Day. It's a tense moment for 17-year-old Alex. But thanks to a small grant from @AshfordCouncil, we supplied laptops to some of our tutors which enabled a small group of young people like Alex to complete their studies and get into college. Here's what happened.
@AQA I'm asking because we're renting buildings that our students can not use for the foreseeable future. The only purpose of the exam centre is to house exams in a safe, but no one will use paper exams as they're all ill and isolating at home.
@AQA We were working with young people that were vulnerable prior to COVID-19. Is there any chance exams will be available online for young people battling cancer and other chronic or life-threatening illnesses?
@AQA Wouldn't it be easier if centres that exists for at risk groups could opt in to 'online only' and bypass JCQ paper handling processes? Actually, if all centres could choose not to handle the paper or in person exams.
It's GOOD people are talking about ART and engaging with ART in public spaces. It's GOOD that new work for visual artists is on the near horizon, because COVID-19 decimated the arts. It's GOOD that museums will be busy preserving things from the past for the future. It's ALL good
