Reduce the content of A Level examinations

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should reduce the content of A Level examinations in 2021 due to the disruption of Covid-19. Approximately 6 months of adequate teaching has been lost, and pushing the exams back by a couple of weeks is not enough. This has already had a huge impact on the studying of so many.

Students in the UK have already missed hundreds of hours of learning since March. Some pupils don’t have the essential resources: a working computer, textbooks, stationary, etc. Many don’t have a proper learning environment, therefore results will most certainly not reflect the true potential of pupils. Hence why I am writing to the Government to reduce the content of A Level examinations to allow students across the country to be much better equipped and less disadvantaged.
