'On the issue of tackling inequality, the govt and Gavin Williamson get a U' Labour leader Sir Keir_Starmer says today's GCSEResults are 'baked in inequality', describing the gap between private and state schools as getting 'bigger rather than smaller'
The number of students in England who entered seven or more GCSEs and received a 9 - the highest grade - in all subjects has risen.
Teachers in England determined pupils' A-level and GCSE grades by taking into account their performance in mock exams, coursework and in-class assessments using questions by exam boards.Exam boards were sent samples of student work and evidence used to determine the grades, as part of quality assurance checks.
Mr Gibb added that ministers wanted pupils to return to sitting exams, saying:"We've already announced the adjustments to the exams - we expect all young people to be taking exams in 2022 but we will be making adjustments to those exams to reflect the fact that this cohort will have had disruption to their education as well.
