Cambridge agrees to review results after outcry
Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, Cambridge International had cancelled its May/June 2020 series worldwide with the announcement to award certificates without exams.
The CAIE followed a four-step assessment mechanism which included teachers’ predicted grades, ranking order, school review/approval and standardisation.
However, after the results were announced, there was an outcry from Pakistani students who felt they had been graded unfairly.
Cambridge subsequently agreed to review its grading procedures.
