A-level and GCSE college students will likely be awarded the grades predicted for them by their academics, the Welsh Authorities has introduced.
The U-turn adopted criticism from college students, opposition politicians and Welsh Labour backbenchers.
Schooling Minister Kirsty Williams mentioned she took the choice to keep up confidence within the system.
An announcement is anticipated in England later and Northern Eire has already mentioned it would use predictions for GCSEs.
A complete of 42% of A-level grades predicted by academics had been lowered when Welsh outcomes have been printed final week.
“Given selections elsewhere, the steadiness of equity now lies with awarding centre evaluation grades to college students, regardless of the strengths of the system in Wales,” Ms Williams mentioned.
The change additionally impacts AS-levels, abilities problem certificates and the Welsh Baccalaureate.
However college students who obtained greater grades than these predicted by academics will maintain them.
