Students call for Gavin Williamson to resign and chant "Tories aren't human" in Westminster

2020-08-22 1

Students gathered outside the Department for Education in London on Saturday (August 22) calling for the resignation of Education Secretary Gavin Williamson following the algorithm fiasco with this year's A-Level results.

The algorithm - which looked at mock exam results and a school's track record - lowered the results of nearly 40% of students who could not take exams due to the coronavirus pandemic. Grades awarded by the algorithm have since been withdrawn and Williamson has apologised.

Despite the U-turn, students still protested outside the department, calling for Williamson's resignation and chanting "Tories aren't human."
