Thank you Sarah. This is such a hot topic. For exams to be typed schools need to be teaching typing as it is a skill that requires accuracy and speed. We also need equity amongst all schools so that at a specific time of day/date when an exam is held all students across the country can access the exam paper and type at the same time. I definitely would like to see this happen sooner rather than later for our ‘heavy’ writing subjects. I know the National Handwriting Association has concerns regarding typing in exams because research says that handwriting helps us to retain information better than typing. I think for now it is a ‘watch this space’ scenario.
