No one knows exactly what the next 12 months will hold for us in terms of the virus and restrictions, but many are hopeful that by then most things will have returned to normal and children will have remained in school. It is likely that the education mister will want exams to resume next year as long as everything continues on the path that it has but this does mean that students that are going to be doing them will need to do a fair amount of catching up in preparation.
Some exams are not really important in terms of the student’s education going forward but others will make a huge difference in to what colleges, universities or sixth forms they can get in to along with what jobs they can apply for.
It is likely that many students will feel under pressure more than ever to perform well and may not be given any allowances like the last two years’ students have. The government is looking in to ways in which it can offer additional education to those in need of it later on this year, but it may all be a little too late for those sitting exams next spring.
