A new study provides the first empirical evidence regarding the impact of A-level grading during the pandemic on university admissions. The findings confirm concerns that private schools benefited disproportionately from the grading changes.
Despite the advantages for private institutions, the research also indicates that disadvantaged students experienced improved prospects for university entry during this period.
These developments raise important questions about equity in education and the long-term implications of grade inflation on university admissions.
