The British college entrance examination adopts algorithmic scoring. Is this fair?

In 2020, due to the epidemic situation, the two major exams, A-LEVEL and GCSE, which are equivalent to the national college entrance examination and senior high school entrance examination, could not be held in the UK as scheduled this year, and its importance can be imagined. The scoring principle of the new algorithm is based on big data and teachers' evaluation of students. According to the British "Daily Mail" report, about 40% of students in England's grades have been reduced as a result.

This behavior caused dissatisfaction among many students and parents, and protested against this behavior. On the day of the news report, hundreds of students and parents surrounded the British Education Bureau and complained about the unfairness of the education system. Many people wrote on the placard: "Give me back the deducted points!" Some students even sarcastically said: "Computer algorithms are more amateur than computer majors." They held high the flag and asked Gavin to step down.

Williamson said: I am sorry for the pain this incident has caused young people and their parents, but I hope this news will bring them the certainty and comfort they deserve. ? Williamson also took active measures to deal with this incident. He said that he would cancel the upper limit of university enrollment and open more places to students.

At present, some examinee groups have filed lawsuits against this unfair behavior, and some students have published public petitions, demanding that the government formulate a fairer performance evaluation system. At present, 144000 people have agreed and signed it. After three or four days of fighting, the result is still that English candidates' A-level scores will be based on teachers' estimates, not on algorithms. The certification of the chairman of the British Qualification Examination Committee also has to be caused by the algorithm scoring system? Distressed? And apologize.

It is conceivable that thousands of fresh candidates will have a good sleep tonight, and British universities have expressed their willingness to provide more candidates with opportunities to study according to the revised scores. Scholarship? Opportunity. However, there are still many practical problems in reality: many colleges and universities have entered the final stage of admission, and it is not known whether candidates who have lost their admission opportunities due to their declining grades still have a chance.
