What the petition asks

Help make it clear to A level students going to University this September how the ever growing threat of coronavirus will affect them and their peers, what measures will be put in place to ensure no student is put at a loss.

Why it was rejected

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

Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards and individual schools, and are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
