Northern Ireland pupils to be awarded GCSE grades based on teacher predictions

GCSE students in Northern Ireland are to be awarded the grades predicted by their teachers, Stormont’s education minister has announced.

Never in my personal experience predicted my students' grades lower than A. Made 3 out of 4 correct predictions 😆

Bizzare considering that teachers only predict 16% of grades correctly.

I hope everyone is given a pass.

Come on, BJ and GW! Restore their rightful grades to our English students!

So this now means that pupils in England will be at a disadvantage over their Scottish and N. Irish peers. Come on BorisJohnson sort it out before Thursday!
