Cancel Health and Social Care exams 2021

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

The Health and Social Care exam, due to take place Monday 11th January, should be cancelled as it is the first exam any GCSE student would sit. This means after the troubled year, they have had significantly less time to learn all the information needed to complete the exam.
With other exams that would have been sat later on in the year being cancelled, it is only right to cancel the exam that has had the least amount of time focussed on it.
