Martin O’Grady will not be happy.
And rightly so.
Maybe instead of a plan to discriminate against specific schools they should have uniformly reduced all marks based on the difference between 2020 and 2019.
An average of the difference between 2020 and previous 3-5 years would probably be better but you get the idea.
They should have let them sit it
Once the inter was cancelled
And all the other years’ got their summer holidays in March
How hard would it have been to reconfigure class rooms and timetables for 6th years
2 ms apart / 10 Inc teacher per class
And to organise exam halls
Plenty of empty community halls & conference/ hotel function rooms lying idle
No reason why exam scripts couldn’t have been managed as before
Post and Courier Deliveries were all still fully working
Whole thing was a cod tbh
+100
Cancelling the LC was totally ridiculous.
+600 for everybody
