Conference believes that GCSEs, A Levels and BTECs are clearly unfit for purpose in assessing in any meaningful and fair way student learning and that an alternative urgently needs to be developed and established
Conference instructs the Executive to commission and produce a series of articles, pamphlets and other materials putting the case for an end to norm referenced GCSEs and their replacement by criteria-based assessment and an alternative to A Levels and BTECs
