Actually reading through the Ofqual/DfE consultation rather than what has been said about it by others. It's not making me feel any better.
This passage makes zero sense to me. It's like a Boris announcement on the importance of following guidance. NEA is important, but only if the kids have all done it. It's the only evidence you can use in Art, but it's ok if it's not very good. Oh, and you can just make it up.
Oh, and if all else fails, just make it up using whatever stuff you can find to justify what you want to give.
Ah good, that's fixed the concerns over paper integrity. Nothing could possibly go wrong with these robust measures in place.
It's ok guys. Who cares that the whole plan doesn't work since they're going to give us some training!
