Ofqual have just updated their guidance for private candidates which will apply to many home educated young people during the Covid-19 crisis.
It looks like yet another postcode lottery for the home educating community.
One parent whose children are affected by the lockdown measures commented:
On an individual basis, it’s down to the exam centre whether they help or how they do it. We’re using two: one is helpful – one is not.
Noting the irony, he added:
For years we have fought to stop one bunch of civil servants having access to our home education because it’s none of their business.Now we are having to fight for a different set of civil servants to have access to our home education information so our children can obtain assessment grades.
The Times has meanwhile covered the anomaly today: Exams loophole leaves home‑schooled <sic> children in limbo [paywall]
