Just Over 40 Appeals Issued Over A-Level And GCSE Grades
Just over 40 appeals have been lodged in the last six days following this year’s A-Level and GCSE results in Northern Ireland.
This is a drop from 1,687 appeals in 2020 and 1,926 in 2019, in six days.
Teacher-assessed grades were issued earlier this month following the cancellation of exams for the second year in a row due to the coronavirus pandemic.
More than half of the A-levels sat in Northern Ireland received the top A*-A grades.
At GCSE, almost 40% of the grades issued were A or A* grades, an increase of 3.6%, however there was little change in the number of entries achieving A-C grades – 89.6% in 2021 compared with 89.8% last year
Grades were assessed by teachers and decided through a five-stage process.
In a statement to the PA news agency, CCEA said that in the first six days there were 41 appeals.
