How is this going to work?
Do students miss a year or have teaching staff got to perform another load of admin work to give students their qualifications?
And if they miss a year, what is the impact on Universities ?
Or have I misunderstood?


Your guess is as good as mine. At the moment we have no guidance at all. I would not be at all suprised if they have no idea what they're going do, and will formulate a plan as time progresses.

We'll sit tight and wait for OfQual guidance. Remember, nearly all qualifications are final exams, rather than having a coursework module. We have some 'mock' results from November for Yr11 and January for Yr13, but it's not really a fair comparison.
