Education Minister Kirsty Williams has said it is impossible to guarantee equality for examinations due to the ongoing impact of the Covid pandemic. Head teachers would practice a “national approach” to ensure consistency, he said. Assessments will be conducted under teacher supervision and will begin in the second half of the spring term. They will be set and marked from the outside but will be given in the classroom. Policy Editor Lewis Goodall has reported that Emma Barnett is a Conservative MP for David Simmons and Rebecca Poole Hampton is a senior executive. #BBCNews #BBC #Newsnight Newsnight is the BBC’s premier news and current affairs television program – with strong analysis, discussion, exclusivity and dialogue.
