What the petition asks
The Government should ensure that private candidates get the exams they deserve. They have been continuing to learn throughout the pandemic and should not be held back.
The Government was late to consider Private Candidates when it cancelled exams in 2020. This needs to be resolved urgently before deadlines in February. All candidates deserve a level playing field.
