Foundation students who get 90-100% should be allowed a grade 6

What the petition asks
students who want to get a good grade but are in foundation should at least be allowed to get a 6 when scoring 90-100% since it only takes about 75-80% to get a 5, if a student revises their heart out to get 90-100% but only get a 5 because they’re in foundation is completely unfair
I just think it’s quite unfair, it won’t motivate the students to get higher than 75% plus if students revised to get a grade six making their test scores between 90-100% that would paint an extremely good image of the UK’s education which could help the country profit if many different ways so it would be beneficial for student mental health and motivation and the country’s own reputation
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Decisions about grade boundaries are a matter for Ofqual and individual exam boards, not the Government or House of Commons.
