From concerns about the digitalisation of exams to bizarre (and false) stories about exam ceiling height, 2024 has had its fair share of contentious, interesting and downright weird news stories in the education and assessment space.

With 2025 on the horizon, our host Katherine Barnett sat down with global technology specialist and consultant Geoff Chapman for a special edition of Revision Notes, where we look back at these stories from the past year.  We also discuss the increase in SEN requests and the rising demands to meet every student’s needs, as well as one invigilator’s claim to have only spotted three cheats in 25 years.  Finally, we look at Geoff’s predictions for 2025, as well as what he would like to see happening next in the education and assessment space.
