Cancel all BTEC exams and give students teacher predicted grades

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the government to cancel the upcoming BTEC exams. Instead of using exam results to grade BTEC students, teachers should be allowed to calculate predicted grades for students. so
Today a national lockdown has been announced, shops, gyms and other businesses have been forced to close. It has been deemed unsafe for primary, secondary schools and colleges to open as they’re a vector for the covid-19 disease. However, unfairly BTEC students are being made to travel to college in the midst of a national lockdown to undertake exams they’re ill prepared for due to a lack of face-to-face lessons and added stress because of the current challenges associated with coronavirus.
