Acknowledgement of the difficulties faced by students (motivation is unrelated)
Meaningful change to be made to 2021 exams.
The pandemic has been difficult for students. Many of us are trapped in difficult environments unable to study properly. We have been under immense stress.Many students were abandoned without access to remote learning, support, resources and the ability to meaningfully study. The current provisions outlined are not enough and the justifications were insulting. We cannot be expected to sit our examinations without meaningful change, without it the prospects of an entire generation will be stunted
