What the petition asks
5 months lost last year, 3 months and counting this year. How on earth are we supposed to catch this up? I want the government to stop dithering about education and start considering the wellbeing of the students. All exams for 2022 should be cancelled now due to the time lost in education.
Students are so far behind in their learning due to the repeated shutdowns of schools, it will be impossible to catch up on learning over the next 12 months. Government should consider the mental health and wellbeing if the students in reaching a prompt decision.
