About "the IB case":Last year several international (see e.g. here and here) and Norwegian media outlets (see e.g. here and here) reported that students of the International Baccalaureate (IB) received significantly lower grades than they anticipated. The reason behind this appeared to be that so-called “school context” and “historical data” have been used by the grading algorithm, in an attempt to compensate for the cancellation of exams due to the ongoing pandemic. The Norwegian Data Protection Authority has chosen to intervene in the matter. - In a way, students have been confined to a particular segment based on the historical results of their school, even though all students are different. At the same time, grading can have a major effect on their academic and professional careers and thus the rest of their lives. This is unfair to hard-working students who are unexpectedly denied of educational opportunities, says Head of International Tobias Judin.
