Do you think there will be any changes to the Year 10s GCSEs next year?

I have a ds in year10 and was thinking about the impact this would have on his year groups gcses. Do you think there will be any adjustments made or just a mad scramble to catch up when they do return to school?
Possibly grade boundaries could be lowered and more of a choice of questions in the exams. Obviously at this point we don't know how long they will be off.

Shotening the holidays won't work as many parents wouldn't send there kids in + other reasons.

As we don't know what will happen this or next year, it could be anything from the same as this year, to redistributing grade boundaries. changing the syllabus (though fuck knows how) to any number of different possibilities.

I wondered if they might shorten the summer holidays and use half term to catch up. That would only work if they only lost a few weeks though.
