Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) has decided to grade all students in the upcoming May and June examination, suspended due to COVID-19 pandemic, based on a range of evidence by collaborating with all the schools.
According to the CAIE’s country director for Pakistan, Uzma Yousuf, CAIE will combine the evidence provided by schools with the evidence at its disposal.
The decision on grades to be awarded to students will be made by Cambridge, using our own evidence combined with evidence from schools. We are asking schools to collaborate with us as we make evidence-based decisions about grades for each student in each subject they have entered for in the May and June 2020 examination series.
