Get all January 2021 Btec, A-level and GCSE exams cancelled

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To make it fair on all students January 2021 exams should be cancelled. The government should take into consideration the stress and lack of education that multiple students have had this past year due to no fault of their own. Therefore all exams not just summer exams should be cancelled
s January 2021 exams should be cancelled as not all students will be prepared due to school closures self isolation and deaths in families which will have caused time off school and missed education. There is also the fact that five months of education was missed out because of the first lockdown meaning that students as a whole are at a disadvantage
