So say the 34 members of the U.K.’s Weston Manor Group.  Interestingly, they see it primarily as the educators’ problem...

“In expanded higher education, marking [grading] loads can be gigantic ... Teachers spend too little time on good feedback sessions, fostering good trust relationships with students, and enhancing their learning and teaching.”

“The need to get a ‘good degree’ makes assessment the main driver for students - there is too much focus on the narrow purpose of attaining a grade, the magical 2:1. The key purpose of assessment - learning - gets lost.”
