2020 IGCSE / IAS / IAL / O Level取消
2020東京奧運延期
#motd #moodoftheday #20200324
有史以來第一次，以上公開考試，包括早前宣佈取消的GCSE / A Level / IB，全球大型公開考試，今年全部取消。
受影響的學生，仍會收到公開試的評級及證書 — 是以其本身就讀學校所提供之最佳證明，以評定學生成績。
各考試局正與全球大學商討其收生決定，並盡快以電郵通知考生詳細情況。
都是一樣，沒有人對消息感到驚訝，卻理解受影響者的被動及無措。
現時各大公開考試陸續宣佈取消，但學期未完結；原則上，應繼續網上授課，老師的下階段工作是評分和呈分。
但，哪有正常人現在還有動力教和學？
學習，是人生認真而漫長的過程，跑入直路了，突然間，終點線被收起。
另一個籌備經年，突然消失終點移轉的，是2020東京奧運，今天正式宣佈延期一年。
我知道，這時候，誰都不期待有好消息，但一針一針地拮到肉，確實是大家都痛了。
大家加油，要捱過去。

Update from Cambridge International on May/June 2020 exams
23 Mar 2020
The situation with the Covid-19 outbreak is changing rapidly. In recent days, many more countries have decided to extend school closures into May and June, making it impossible for many of our schools to hold examinations.
We have been consulting closely with our global community of schools, who need as much certainty as possible at an uncertain time. Our priority is to protect the safety and wellbeing of our students and teachers, ensure fairness for all our students and support them in continuing with their education.
Today, therefore, we have taken the difficult decision not to run our international examinations in the May/June 2020 series in any country. This includes Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge O Level, Cambridge International AS & A Level, Cambridge AICE Diploma and Cambridge Pre-U.
We recognise that students have been working very hard towards these exams. We will be working with schools to assess students’ achievements using the best available evidence. Students will receive a grade and a certificate from Cambridge International, given the knowledge and skills they have acquired in their programmes of study. This will ensure students do not face disadvantage as a result of these extraordinary circumstances.
We will provide guidance to schools on how students will receive those grades. We are talking to universities worldwide, and they are factoring these unprecedented circumstances into admissions decisions, so students can continue with their education journeys as soon as possible.
We are also aware of the impact the situation may have on student motivation and learning. Many of our schools are working hard to deliver teaching online to support their students’ learning. We will continue to offer a wide range of support and resources for schools, teachers and students on our dedicated pages on our website at
www.cambridgeinternational.org
We will provide an update for schools on Thursday 26 March and as regularly as possible. We know that schools will need clear guidance very soon, and we are working around the clock on how to deliver valuable outcomes to students in the many countries where we work.
