Algorithmic A-level Grading Controversy

The chapter delves into the controversy surrounding the use of algorithms for A-level grades, highlighting discrepancies between expected and awarded grades and the bias towards independent schools. It addresses the limitations of the algorithm's reliance on historical school data, causing grading disparities based on school performance rather than individual merit. The conversation explores the shift to teacher-assessed grades and raises concerns about fairness, accuracy, and potential biases in grading algorithms.
