The Isle of Man has until September to make a decision on which path to follow for GCSE exams.
It follows England’s decision to totally overhaul the qualification – from September next year most subjects will be assessed entirely by end of course exams.
Students of all abilities will also sit the same exam paper – something that has rarely been tried in the English examination system before.
A public consultation was launched yesterday to gauge the opinions of people on the Island.
Paul Craine is the learning advisor for the Department of Education and Children – he says the English system isn’t being ruled out:
Jobcentre can't stop ads being doubled up
Deposits are biggest barrier to getting on property ladder
Vegan beauty salon up for sale
Committee says more housing needed for young people
Half of broken defibs now working
Cider microbrewery planned for Ballasalla
Covid wrongful arrest and torture claims thrown out by court
