Change the curriculum for students taking GCSE and A LEVEL exams next year

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I, as a current year 10 student due to take my GCSE exams next year would like the Government to make changes to the Curriculum for both A Level and GCSE exams being taken next year due to COVID 19 and the lack of content being taught to students during this time.
During these past months Year 10s and Year 12s have been put at a disadvantage due to this unfortunate time. This has resulted in a lack of face to face teaching which will have catastrophic effects in the coming months. For this reason we would like some leniency/ change in the curriculum for GCSE examinations due to be taken next year. This will put students in a better position to be able to achieve desirable grades and to also have some time to come back to some sort of normality.
