Sharing more insight on the future of the current Year 12’s

What the petition asks

We have been given little to nothing, and are being left in the dark. We want to know how we can be expected to apply to the Universities we want with only 6 months worth of education which does not show out true potential.
We are the ones missing out on essential education, unlike other year groups who can potentially cope with this situation. We are being expected to learn half of the syllabus for our first year, and despite our teachers efforts in helping us, it is near to impossible to be able to do so, and then to be expected to achieve outstanding grades to apply for Universities, is just unacceptable and unrealistic. We want more information on what is going to happen to us and what help we are going to get.
