Justice for A level private resit students

20000 students have no A Level grades simply because they were privately resitting. Waiting another year to go to university is unacceptable.

Don’t let it happen again.

There is still the opportunity to redress this injustice if the will to do so exists. Why can’t @GavinWilliamson & @ofqual & exam boards do the right thing. Even CAGs appeals by schools for DOWNGRADED cohorts of 5 students are rejected by exam boards. @CommonsEd must uncover WHY?

While what @halfon4harlowMP says is true what us students who have been set backwards due to unfairness this summer need is not promise of lessons learnt. What we need is action and compensation. It is never too late to do the right thing and give 20k ungraded students grades..

[Tes magazine @tes]

“Unfairness" from this summer’s grading will have "ongoing impact on the lives of thousands," says @halfon4harlowMP "Such harm could have been avoided had @Ofqual not buried its head in the sand." "Both @Ofqual and @educationgovuk must learn hard lessons" https://t.co/KVtx8Sg0Z4

#alevels2021 @GavinWilliamson @BorisJohnson YOU CAN’T LEAVE EXTERNAL CANDIDATES BEHIND AGAIN.

HERE ARE THE CONSEQUENCES:

If you want to campaign for A-Levels to be cancelled at least help external candidates voices to be heard too. We are not separate entities, we are all students and our futures must be ensured too. #alevels2021

20,000 students left with no support, no back up, having to sit exams in a pandemic against all odds. Give us some proof that you are even aware of this group as it seems they have been whitewashed out of @ofqual conscience!!!

[Gabriella Braun 💙 @BraunGabriella]

That is benign, helpful leadership -something long gone in the UK.

[JUSTICE 4 RESITS @newnonymous1]

@educationgovuk @halfon4harlowMP and @CommonsEd fight for everyone but private candidate students. Every department and agency has neglected us and that is incredibly sad. Thanks for ruining our lives and leaving us behind.

[Will Hazell @whazell]

@GavinWilliamson @NAHTnews @ASCL_UK @NEUnion @NASUWT @NGAMedia @HMC_Org In his statement, Williamson says "exams next year will be supported by contingencies for all scenarios", and is writing to Ofqual for support in "developing these arrangements".

I.e. if you wanted clarity on what Plan B is, looks like you'll have to wait...

[JUSTICE 4 RESITS @newnonymous1]

@tes @Parentkind Yeah and then what happens to private candidate students?

[JUSTICE 4 RESITS @newnonymous1]

@michelledonelan Well that’s a lie as you haven’t prioritised the education of 20,000 external a level students without grades and their no path to university this year

[Is @homeschooled01]

@AnnieChia0317 And 20k students didn’t receive grades yet @tes are discussing for all students to receive teacher grades like they did this year for 2021 ..... as if 2020 grades weren’t shambolic

[Is @homeschooled01]

@tes Lol and what about external students who didn’t receive any grades? Are we going to have to experience the same AGAIN

[Justice for Resit Students! @ReachJustice]

@NEUnion What will happen to external candidates/homeschooled students who received no grades this year?

Have you taken into consideration our plight?

[National Education Union @NEUnion]

The 2020 exam fiasco left heads having to explain to students why their results had changed dramatically from their predicted grades.
