The number of students requiring special arrangements during exams in England has hit a record high, with recent Ofqual figures showing 625,000 adjustments made during the past year alone. This marks a 12.3% increase compared to the prior year, as schools and colleges struggle to accommodate the growing demand. Many institutions are forced to hire external venues and additional staff, incurring extra costs. Experts attribute this rise to increased diagnoses of neurodiverse conditions and improved identification methods. Students, such as 17-year-old Hannah, report significant positive impacts on their exam experiences due to these adjustments.
