What the petition asks
Look at how isolation, access to technology for remote learning, students with SEND etc have been impacted and how students at a school, regional and national level and how the awarding of grades can fairly reflect this.
Form a committee of educational specialists, teachers, and representatives from exam boards to look at and model potential solutions to ensure no student is disadvantaged due to Covid-19.
