Reinstate all downgraded Alevels and GCSEs across the whole UK.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Bring the rest of the UK in line with Scotland in terms of calculating 2020 exam results (using the teacher predicted grades without moderation).

The current system adversely affects the most disadvantaged and is overall unsuccessful at representing the abilities of students. The teachers they have spent the last two years with know better than a formula.

Why it was rejected

The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.

The UK Government is only responsible for education in England.

Since you started your petition the Government has announced that GCSE and A-level students will receive their centre assessment grades: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/gcse-and-a-level-students-to-receive-centre-assessment-grades

Prior to this announcement being made, we had published the following petitions, calling for similar actions to your request:

Reverse all exam grades back to teacher’s own predictions: Reverse all exam grades back to teacher’s own predictions

Review the decision to use previous data to calculate exam grades: Review the decision to use previous data to calculate exam grades
