Are IGCSEs changing as well as GCSEs????

It does feel a right old muddle... but am I right in thinking that IGCSEs will continue to be A* to E or whatever, while GCSEs change to 9 to 1? How utterly bizarre... and confusing for all if so....

They're changing here in the UK but a year later.

Apparently there was concern that by not changing, pupils would be at a disadvantage as they couldn't get a "9".

However the iGCSEs seem to continue to offer coursework options for subjects such as English whereas they seem to have vanished except for obviously practical subjects.

That was the plan, but they are now changing to 1 to 9 if sat in the uk
