Good luck & best wishes to all those receiving their #AlevelResults & #vocational results today in #Newcastle & across the country. You have faced challenges no other year group has had to endure. You are to be congratulated in everything you achieve.
Hearing VERY WORRYING examples of #Newcastle #AlevelResults slashed by nationally imposed #algorithm that does not reflect individual achievement. Constituents who have suffered unfair grade cuts, get in touch. We can't allow young people's & our city's future to be so damaged.
I understand that in particular girls studying #Physics have been impacted by an algorithm which does not take into account all the work by schools (& campaigners!) to increase & widen girls participation in Physics, some losing places to study #Engineering #AlevelResults
Hope @TheIET @RAEngNews @IOPTeaching will be taking this up with Government #AlevelResults #alevels2020
Today thousands of #alevels2020 students have had their hopes dashed by a badly written #algorithm with unfairness built in. It is not right that who gets to write the algorithms which determine our digital future is being decided in this way.
