Prospective trainee teachers whose undergraduate degrees are delayed as a result of the university marking boycott will be able to start courses in September after government changed the rules.
It comes after Schools Week reported last week that the Department for Education (DfE) was assessing the “scale and likelihood” of possible disruption to courses.
University and College Union (UCU) members are taking action short of a strike in a dispute over pay, affecting 145 institutions and including a marking and assessment boycott.
It means exam results or coursework marks could be delayed, with some students unable to receive their degree before the end of the academic year.
