Change the way that GCSE and A-Level results in England have been standardised

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Reverse the decision to use a standardised system based on geographical bias to finalise exam results for the class of 2020. Teachers’ assessments have been undermined considering they are the best placed to make decisions on these young people’s’ futures.

As a teacher myself I find it offensive; but more importantly it is grossly unfair on a huge majority of the hard working young adults across the country.

Why it was rejected

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

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
