Give GCSE and A-level students their predicted grades because of COVID-19

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Ensure that Uk students don’t have to do their exams in the time of this pandemic and that they get their predicted grades.
As Boris Johnson said, many will lose loved ones. The virus is meant to peak in early May which is exam season which means many students and their loved ones will continue to suffer during the season so the fairest thing to do is to give students their predicted grades as many will not be able to do exams and many will suffer trauma. This will effect their exam grade so they will be more deserving of a grade their teacher or professor believes they should receive.

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.
