Cambridge International has also published adjustments to its assessment criteria for a number of syllabuses, which schools can apply for, where it will make it safer for students to complete their qualifications. For example, where a student might have previously had to visit a physical location or perform in front of a live audience as part of their final assessment, they will be able to do these tasks online or submit recordings.
Christine Özden, Chief Executive, Cambridge International, said: “We know that the pandemic has caused many challenges for our schools, but we are doing everything we can to support them.
