“We have been looking carefully at how to act on your feedback, and at the same time, make sure schools, universities, and employers continue to trust our qualifications. On Tuesday 18 August, we will let you know the actions we will take,” Cambridge International stated in a press note.
Minister for Education and Professional Training Shafqat Mahmood also tweeted on the subject, saying, “As a result of our intervention conveying the anguish of our students, I have just heard that Cambridge has agreed to review its grading procedure regarding the recently declared results. It will announce its final verdict after review on Tuesday.”

We know schools have been pleased that we were able to provide grades in challenging circumstances. We have also heard your concerns about some aspects of our process, and we understand the real anxieties Cambridge students are facing at the moment,” the press note adds.
