What the petition asks
This petition is calling on the Department of Education to release, in full, the data points that were used to determine exam results during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This refers to the information used by an algorithm to determine results in 2020 (e.g. location, type of school, gender).
There is a wide array of evidence which points to outlier students from poorer/ under-performing schools receiving much lower results than they were predicted. This petition calls for an analysis on the data points used, and whether they unfairly disadvantaged students from poorer backgrounds and underperforming schools.
