Children taking exams should be marked up because of strikes by teachers, it was claimed
CHILDREN taking exams this summer should be marked up because of strikes by teachers, it was claimed yesterday.
Exams watchdog Ofqual is being urged to rethink its instruction to exam boards to return to “normal marking” for the first time since 2019.

The Northern Powerhouse Partnership said teens sitting A-levels and GCSEs were being treated “very unfairly”.
It comes after marks were increased in 2021 and 2022 to compensate for Covid disruption.
There were no exams in 2020.
Teachers will strike on April 27, May 2 and for three days in June or July.
Ofqual said: “We’re building in an allowance to grading that reflects the disruption students have experienced.”
He told the Sunday Times: “Not only did this year’s exam candidates lose lessons in the pandemic, many teenagers have not returned to school full time and behaviour in schools is much worse than it was.”
Apple’s 2013 and 2014 iMacs Now Obsolete, Apple Watch Series 2 Marked as Vintage
Obsoleted Macs include the late 2013 21.5 and 27-inch iMacs, the mid-2014 21.5-inch iMac, and the late 2014 27-inch Retina 5K iMac. The late 2014 27-inch iMac was the first iMac with a 5K Retina display. At the time, Apple’s Phil Schiller said it was the “most insanely great Mac we have ever made.”
Apple designates products as obsolete seven years after they were last on sale. All hardware service is discontinued for obsolete products, and service providers are not able to order parts for obsolete devices. The 2013 and 2014 iMacs will no longer be able to be repaired with components from Apple.
Apple today also marked the Apple Watch Series 2 as vintage. The vintage products list features devices that Apple stopped distributing for sale more than five years ago and less than seven years ago. Apple provides service and parts for vintage devices for up to 7 years, or as required by law, but repairs are subject to parts availability.
Both the original Apple Watch and the Apple Watch Series 2 are considered vintage, with the Series 2 having come out in 2016.
