Proceeding contribution from Bob Blackman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 December 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Exams and Accountability 2021.


Exams and Accountability 2021

I warmly welcome my right hon. Friend’s statement, which will end the uncertainty that I am sure is experienced right across the country. Will he join me in thanking teachers and students across Harrow, who have been desperately trying to catch up with the learning that they have missed, and congratulating them on their hard work? Will he use the opportunity—now—of a revision to the process to ensure that exams are not just a test of knowledge, but far more a test of how that knowledge is applied, in assessing how students have performed across their time in school?
