Government needs to urgently look at suggestion of abuse of extra time provision in exams - Rayner
Angela Rayner, Labour’s Shadow Education Secretary, commenting on reports that independent school students gain extra time for exams, said:
“Our education system allows children with special educational needs extra time in exams to ensure that they are not unfairly disadvantaged. The suggestion that this could be being abused raises serious questions about the fairness of this arrangement.
“The Government needs to look at this urgently to make sure that no school is abusing the system.”
