Multiple Australian outlets report that an international schools expert argues against using letter grades—specifically As, Bs and Cs—in school assessment. The expert says the traditional grading approach is outdated and should be replaced with alternatives that better reflect student learning. The coverage is framed around a broader critique of how letter grades communicate achievement and how they may affect student understanding of progress. While the articles focus on the call to remove As, Bs and Cs, they do not present a single detailed replacement model in the excerpts provided. Instead, they emphasize the expert’s position that the practice should change. Across Brisbane Times, The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald, the central claim is the same: letter grades in this form are no longer appropriate for modern schooling and the system should be reformed. The reports present this view as an expert opinion and do not indicate that any education authority has yet adopted the proposal.
