Reduce the content for 2021 GCSEs and A levels

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Significantly reduce the content that the students who take the 2021 GCSE and A-Levels have to learn.
The students are at a disadvantage due to the coronavirus lockdown especially those without access to devices and online lessons. Current Year 10 and 12s feel silenced in these times as they feel ignored and as if they aren’t important. It will significantly reduce the pressure on students. There has been a huge lack of information given as it would appear these students are not important to the government.
