Give Teacher Predicted Grades to A-Level students whose results were downgraded.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government’s algorithmically driven A-Level assessment program during the pandemic has been proven to be inadequate.

We want the government to allow Students to instead choose to accept their Teacher Predicted Grades as their final A-Level results.

We understand that a system for the assessment of A-Levels was needed to be built quickly and appreciate that it is a complex task to do so.

However with 40% of student’s results severely downgraded by the new and obviously faulty system the future of this year’s graduates has been put at even further risk.

Already they stand to face unprecedented challenges post pandemic and these false and unfair grades will exacerbate their chances to build secure lives and help rebuild 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
