Let A level and GCSE students have their centre assessment grades.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Hundreds of thousands of A-Level students have had their futures ruined and been denied from university due to a classist grading system. Some have been dropped 2 grades and some even more.

We propose that you let students have a choice to have their centre assessment grades and have a chance at attending the university they would have if given the chance to do their exams. The classist grading system has ruined the lives of thousands of students and it is up to the government to rectify their mistakes. Scottish student were awarded their predicted grades and therefore the English students and Scottish are not equal footing. Fix your mistakes to provide a better future.
