Change exam dates to suit all students
Rejected

What the petition asks
As you may know exam season will fall during the Islamic month of Ramadan. We would like the exam timetables to be moved after so it suits everyone. Students who will be fasting will not be hydrated and they will have an immense disadvantage. All students want to do well so it is only fair.
We would really like the exam dates to be moved after for after Ramadan so the students have the equal opportunity
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about the dates of exams are taken by exam boards, not by the UK Government or Parliament.
