Statement by @PearsonEdexcel which fails to address the main issue, why were two versions sat?

This thread is very detailed and worth your time if you had students sit @PearsonEdexcel A-Level Maths papers this series.

@PearsonEdexcel still dominant in the GCSE Mathematics sphere - entries topping half a million again for the first time in eight years. A testament to examiners and the maths team!

@Ofqual @PearsonEdexcel I hope students, parents, teachers and schools get the answers they deserve. The radio silence in terms what actually went wrong is appalling. Treating those who work so hard with distain is not a good look.

Exclusive: The exams regulator is 'closely scrutinising' Edexcel’s approach to awarding A-level maths this year following complaints that it replaced a paper with a version that missed swathes of content pupils had expected to cover

I'm looking forward to working through the @PearsonEdexcel Advanced Extension Award today. I'm glad they've kept it going despite the decreased numbers. More Year 12s FM students should give it a go!

Hugely encouraged to read the independent report from @OxfordDeptofEd about the impact of Pearson & @PenguinUKBooks #LitinColourPioneers pilot. As a direct result, 10% of ALL students taking @PearsonEdexcel #EnglishLiterature now answer exam texts by a writer of colour ow.ly/i6az50To1Kl

Teachers will much prefer to use the other version in future. It fits with Paper 1 so well. By withholding it @PearsonEdexcel cause more damage when future courts want to use 2025 as mock. Instead, they get two Paper 1s which don't have the usual, excellent content coverage.

No shortage of the top grades for IGCSE™ Mathematics (though PearsonEdexcel have now decided not to publish entry numbers, which is a bit coy of them)
