Allow A-level and GCSE grades on teacher grading and not on an algorithm

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government is letting down a generation of young adults.
I want the scrapping of the algorithm to assess a-level grades and gcse grades.
The grades should be decided by teacher grading

I want the government to accept that the use of an algorithm was wrong and accept that grading for a-levels and GCSEs should be on teacher grading.
The algorithm used should be scrapped.

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:
