Keep Computer Science GCSE Programming Coursework!

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The exam boards are debating whether to remove the programming coursework. We have spent so much time developing our programming skills to find that these skills are non-applicable for the GCSE. As students, we would urge the exam boards to prioritize the announcement of the consultation outcome.
