New examination methods for the year 12s and year 10s affected by Covid19

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to the lockdown enforced in March, students have been unable to focus and study effectively at home and yet we are still expected to take the full exam in May with mocks taking place in September.
The government should review this and make amendments to the examination process as well as university Application methods and intakes to give the year 12s the best chance possible as everyone taking the exams next year as we are all left in the dark with no information regarding our education.
The same also needs to be done with the year 10s to allow them to continue with further education.
