BTec students to start receiving revised grades
BTec students will start receiving their revised grades today, after results were reassessed to bring them in line with A-levels and GCSEs.
Last week, Pearson, the awarding body, pulled some of its BTec results on the eve of releasing them following the government's last-minute U-turn on A-levels and GCSEs, which saw students awarded the exact grades that had been estimated by their teachers rather than having them adjusted by an algorithm.
Now, following a delay, the body is beginning to release the results, which approximately 450,000 students are waiting for. Pearson said that students awaiting grades for university entry were being prioritised, but that all pupils should get their results by the end of the week.
BTecs are vocational qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, which provide work-based skills across areas including business, healthcare and engineering. They are assessed over the course of the qualification through exams, practical coursework and, in many cases, workplace-based placements.
