Reduce the content included on A-Level papers for the 2021 exams

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to consider reducing the content covered on A-Level 2021 papers because I believe that it is the only way for my year group to get a fair chance in the upcoming exams. We have missed too much teaching to sit the full exams, and pushing them back won’t change that.

Because of COVID-19, my year group has missed out on some of the most important months of our education. Pushing the exams back won’t regain these months. Instead, myself and many other A-Level students believe that the best course of action is to reduce the content tested on our exams. This gives us a fair chance to demonstrate what we have learnt/taught ourselves, without infringing on our time next summer to prepare for university and apprenticeships.
