Reduce exam content for A-levels in 2021

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to Covid-19 students have lost over 4 months of teaching at school. We shouldn't be expected to take an exam on content that we haven't been taught. In this critical point in our education, keeping exams the same is unfair and unjust and will stop us from reaching our true potential.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Reduce curriculum content for year 10 & 12 students who will sit exams in 2021.
