The education secretary has confirmed that there will be no GCSE, AS, or A-Level exams this summer in England and that grades will be awarded by teacher assessment.

“This year we’re going to put our trust in teachers, rather than algorithms,” UK education secretary Gavin Williamson told the House of Commons on Jan. 6 in a reference to last year’s widely-criticized process of awarding grades.
