The Egyptian government and students enrolled in the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) programme have praised Cambridge’s move to reverse a controversial decision that had downgraded students’ test results.
Cambridge International had been strongly criticised after it said on its website that the grades of less than half of IGCSE students worldwide were changed from the marks predicted by their teachers in each subject, most of them to a lower grade.
In Egypt, students on social media argued that they received lower grades than those expected by their teachers, adding that their grades were even inconsistent with those of other classmates, which would obstruct them from entering the colleges they want.
