Should exams go ahead this summer? Tell us what you think in our survey

The government this week announced some changes to this year's summer exams.

As part of a support package for students sitting tests in England, there will be 'generous' grading, with those taking some GCSE, AS and A level qualifications seeing changes including formulae and equation sheets in a few exams and less topics to memorise.

Exams regulator Ofqual has said the package is intended to be 'as fair as possible' to pupils given the disruption they have faced due to the coronavirus pandemic.

But assessments are expected to return to normal standards by 2023, according to the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual.

So what do you think about the plans? Do you think it's a fair system for students? Are you happy that exams are still going ahead?

We'd like to know what parents and teachers across Greater Manchester feel about the plans, which come after the proportion of GCSE and A-level entries awarded the top grades surged to a record high last year after results were determined by teachers amid cancelled exams due to coronavirus.
