The country’s largest exam board has been criticised for creating an “avoidable problem” with a geography GCSE question “inaccessible” to colour-blind pupils, even though the board had engaged in talks to improve accessibility.
AQA’s geography paper last month featured a question that included a coloured map and key to explain details required to answer the question.
But teachers and campaigners warn such practice places pupils with a colour vision deficiency (CVD) at a disadvantage.
