Are you unhappy with your A-Level grades? Do you think the chaos in May affected your results? If yes, then there is a good news for you. Cambridge has decided to give you another chance to improve your grades. They will conduct retake exams in October for free. The government has also taken some steps to help you out.
What Happened in May?
You may remember that some A-Level exams were canceled in May due to political unrest. This caused a lot of confusion and frustration among students and parents. Many students received grades that did not match their expectations or performance. They demanded that Cambridge should reschedule the canceled exams or review their grades.
What is Cambridge Doing Now?
Cambridge has listened to your feedback and agreed to organize retake exams in October. You can take these exams for free if you are not satisfied with your grades. You can also request for re-evaluation and re-assessment of your grades if you think they are wrong. Cambridge will check your grades again and refund the fee if they change.
What is the Government Doing Now?
The government has also taken some steps to support you. They had a meeting with Cambridge, British Council, and other education leaders. They discussed how to solve the problem and help the students. Here are some of the things they decided:
- The British Council will help with the arrangements for the retake exams at a lower cost.
- The Ministry of Education will talk to the universities and ask them to be flexible with the admissions.
- The Ministry of Education will also coordinate with the provincial governments and do the same thing.
- The Ministry of Education will set up a complaint system to deal with any issues or grievances.
What Should You Do Now?
If you want to take the retake exams, you should apply online or visit your school as soon as possible. The deadline is 23 August, and the interviews will be on 28 August. The classes will start from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., so you can attend them after your regular school hours.
If you want to request for re-evaluation or re-assessment, you should contact your school and pay 20 percent of the fee. Your school will pay the rest 80 percent of the fee. If your grades change, you will get your money back.
If you have any questions or complaints, you should contact the Private Institution Education Regulatory Authority (PIERA) under the Ministry of Education. They will listen to you and try to solve your problem.
