What the petition asks

The reason why I have decided to commence a petition as due to the incipient 9-1 Maths GCSE where 2017 GCSEs takers will be the first year to endeavor the new Maths, most students are finding it arduous and are not being able to reach their target grade despite being a high achiever .

Source 1 : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-32831905
As you can visually perceive in source 1 even exam regulators are verbally expressing that "incipient maths GCSEs too hard"

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for the difficulty of exam papers. Exam boards are responsible for the questions they set. Exam boards are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.

You can make a complaint to Ofqual about the organisations it regulates. Further information about how to complain is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofqual/about/complaints-procedure.

We could accept a petition asking the UK Government to make specific changes to the current GCSE syllabus.
