Grading of foreign universities
? Fairer in theory, but there are some problems in practice. This time, the British algorithm score caused some social anger. Nearly 40% of students' scores in Britain were lowered by the algorithm score. After the results were announced to students in August 13, many people immediately expressed their dissatisfaction. At present, the British government and the British people are negotiating, and the government has made some concessions because of public opinion.

In fact, Britain's algorithm scoring is divided into two steps. The first step is to pre-evaluate the students' grades by the teacher, and then calculate them by the algorithm as ofqual. In this way, the subjectivity of teachers is actually reduced to a certain extent, and the fairness and objectivity of examination results can be better determined. However, because of the problem of algorithm, 40% students' grades in Britain were depressed, so they were protested by the British people.

Compared with last year, the official estimated score before the implementation of the algorithm can be improved by 2% in the A-level exam and 1% in the general secondary education certificate exam. However, in practice, 39.2% of the evaluation scores were downgraded, among which nearly 90% of the candidates were downgraded by one grade, 3.3% of the students were downgraded by two grades, and even 0.2% of the students were downgraded by three grades. The consequence of this is obvious, that is, many students can't enter their dream universities as they wish, which will affect their school choice goals and even hinder their future life development.

? /kloc-In August of 0/5, the Ofqual guide issued by the British government clearly stated that the teacher's evaluation results can be used together with the algorithm results, and there is no need to hold an actual exam. When the algorithm score is higher than the teacher's evaluation score, the evaluation score is the standard. But that rule was cancelled that night.

Students whose grades have dropped because of algorithm problems can get their original grades through complaints. But this undoubtedly brings greater trading pressure to college entrance examination students, middle school entrance examination students and their families behind them.
