Cancel the Three-week delay of A-levels: Reduce content or cancel A-level exams
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
The Government must cancel A-levels 2021 or reduce the content due to the disadvantage that students in this academic class has had because of the pandemic. A three week delay does not make up for 6 months lost teaching and the strain on mental health due to the repercussions of failed leadership.
The delay in A-level examinations by three weeks does not make up for over 5 months of missed in person learning as well as the continued self-isolations many people (teachers and students alike) continue to have to take. I prompt you to bring this outrage from young people to the forefront of this governments mind. As we have received a consistent negligence towards young people's issues and we've had enough.
