Paragraph 1
The United Kingdom has made a U-turn over the
it used to award exam
for students hoping to attend university. The government had decided on using a
algorithm to determine the grades of students who were unable to take
due to COVID-19. The algorithm gave students results that were a grade or two
than the results predicted by teachers. About 40 per cent of the final results were downgraded. The results hit the
as the scores for students who live in
areas were downgraded. Many of these students did not get into university as a
, despite not taking an exam. Scores for richer students attending
schools were
than predicted.
