What the petition asks

The New GCSE's Have been declared 'too hard' by the exams regulator. Students will be sitting them around June 2017 and so far Mocks and Practice papers have shown the pass rate to be low! Others have quoted that a mark lower than 50% would be required to achieve an A Grade! They are just too hard.
We Want The Goverment To Consider changing the Maths exams for 2017 making them less challenging for students, many experts have agreed they are simply to hard!
Please read the following BBC Article http://goo.gl/FCxYI7 The changes brought in my Michael Gove were exceptionally radical and don't allow children to achieve their fullest potential, Sign the petition to make the new GCSEs fairer for our kids and the leaders of the future.
