Nearly 3,000 BTEC students risk not getting their final grades next month as their schools and colleges missed the July 5 deadline to submit learner data.
Exam board Pearson said today it had referred 81 schools and colleges to its regulatory team for “potential maladministration” for not providing the information they need to guarantee grades on time on results day, August 17.
A third of the 2,881 students whose results are at risk are in three schools or colleges.
Pearson would not name the schools and colleges involved, citing confidentiality in the maladministration process, but told Schools Week that 38 were schools, 37 were further education colleges, 3 were sixth form colleges and 3 were university technical colleges.
