What the petition asks
Vocational exams for BTECS, Certificates and more are set to go ahead in January. With the new national lockdown we are told to stay at home, to stay safe, how is putting 50-200 students in a hall together for considerable amounts of time deemed to be safe?
I want us as students to be safe. If A Levels and GCSEs can be cancelled months ahead, so can vocational exams that are about to take place. This variant is 50-70% more transmissible, with so many people in one room for extended periods of time, any covid could easily spread.
