Examinations

disability discrimination exams reasonable adjustments send

How is the English exam system not pulled up for Disability discrimination?

When an English speaking exam means you have to perform in front of multiple people using your voice…

When a Science exam means you have to sit for an hour in a silent room, having retained years of information…

How is there any hope for children who have SEND when the rules are stacked against them….

We do know some children who succeed in the current system, but do even they truly feel able to achieve their potential?

Accommodations offered to students with educational, emotional, communication needs simply do not go far enough.

25yrs on from when I took exams, failing most as I was unable to concentrate for that length of time, full of overwhelming anxiety, only able to retain information in the topics I had chosen.

Nothing seems to have changed.

We don’t need to look at accommodations, the whole system needs to be re-written.
