GCSE re-sit policy fails more than 70% of 17 year olds
A very good piece of analysis was published by
FE Week following the release of GCSE results data last week.
Just 27% of 17+ learners who took GCSE English achieved grade C or above leaving 93,000 failures who have wasted another year with Mark Dawe of AELP saying “Surely this is evidence enough that hitting students over the head with the same form of learning and assessment is not the way forward."
Maths was even worse with more than 120,000 failing again - just over 50,000 learners managed to turn their D into a C+.
The implications of the re-sit policy means that providers cannot offer the best or most appropriate qualification for many learners - the figures now show how big that problem really is.
