Cancel GCSE and A-levels in 2021 replace with Course Work and Teacher Assessment.
Teacher assessments will replace GCSE and A-level exams in England this summer, the education secretary has announced.
"This year, we're going to put our trust in teachers, rather than algorithms," Gavin Williamson told MPs in the Commons.
Setting out his plans for students as MPs prepared to vote on England's latest national lockdown, Mr. Williamson said that a form of teacher-assessed grades will be used, with training to ensure grades are awarded "fairly and consistently".
His announcement comes after the government shut schools and colleges across the country until mid-February.
