Cancel 2021 A-level & GCSE exams
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
The parliament should cancel exams and approve centre-assessed grades to ensure that students are not held back by the unfortunate circumstances of 2020.
2021 has not been an easy year at all and to expect students to sit mind-boggling exams with little compensation for missed education is obscene. Therefore, England should follow the example of both Scotland and Wales in cancelling exams for 2021.
