YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNick Ferrari told the Schools Minister that he would have quit if he was in charge of a fiasco the size of the A-level results.
Hundreds of thousands of students are receiving their GCSE results this morning following a major U-turn on how they're graded.
The government have announced the results will be based on the higher of either their teacher's predicted grade or a moderated one worked out by an algorithm.
Last week, Nick Gibb told LBC that the algorithm was necessary because grade inflation would make the results less valuable. But this morning, he insisted going with teacher assessments was the right decision.
Nick Ferrari asked him: "When we discussed this last week, you said that it wasn't the right decision because it would debase this year's A-levels and anyone who said they got their A-levels this year, employers would fall about laughing.
"Now you're saying it is the right decision. Do you change your opinion as often as you change your socks?"
Mr Gibb responded: "I change my opinion when the facts change. What do you do, Nick?"
