Delay the A level October exams 2020 to allow students to study longer.

Closed 71 signatures

What the petition asks

Support students that are unhappy with their result for their study for the exams they would like to take later this year to prove their true capability.
The Government has played with our grades and our futures. The very least they could do other than delaying our futures by a year, is delay the exams for us to study longer and a little stress free after being out of education for 5 months. It is inconsiderate to prepare for exams after such a large gap of time without the support of teachers in such a short period of time. The whole process is already unfair and on top they would like to give us not even two months to prepare? Awful.
