Any Govt Minister terming Students' demand for cancelling #Cambridge exams on account of the #Covid crisis as a "free pass" is either deliberately misrepresenting the situation or ignorant to say the least. Cambridge itself has provided a detailed mechanism to evaluate students..
Would any Minister dare say that UK, KSA, Oman, Kuwait, UAE, Bangladesh, India, Turkey, Thailand are giving their students free pass? Many of these countries unlike Pakistan have education as a serious priority. Exams have a monetary benefit to organisers & that's all there is
The School Assessed grades is a tougher evaluating mechanism as it takes the students entire year's performance and preparation into account which demands consistency as opposed to just performance on exam day. I repeat writing off SAGs as a "free pass" is apathetic and ignorant.
