Petition · past parliament

Minimise the topics necessary in the JUNE 2021 GCSE exams.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

We want to direct the Secretary of State for Education to require Ofqual to reduce the exam content for all subjects in the June 2021 exam series.
We believe the content in all exams needs to be reduced by a significant amount. Students learn all the content needed for their GCSE course over a 2 year period, losing 6 months of time has had a significant detriment on the learning of students across the country.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
