Moving exams on-screen must not result in an “experiment with young peoples’ futures”, Ofqual’s chair has warned.
Ian Bauckham said greater use of technology for GCSEs and A-levels was “coming down the track and is probably a case of when not if”.
But he told the Schools and Academies Show that Ofqual’s job is to regulate exams for students, not to be an “evangelist of technology”.
Bauckham, also CEO at Tenax Schools Trust, said warned “we cannot take risks with young people’s qualifications”, and they “must be led” by “robust evidence”.
