Details
This report summarises the results of a survey administered by Ofqual through JL Partners, between 23 February and 3 March 2023, to a representative sample of students and parents. The aim was to better understand their perceptions of on-screen assessments, including any concerns they may have around their potential deployment at a large scale in GCSEs and A levels in England.
Participants included a representative sample of 516 students, aged 15 to 18, who were preparing for high-stakes GCSEs and A levels and sitting their exams in 2023 and 2024, as well as a representative sample of 500 parents of such students (not necessarily the parents of the students taking the survey).
