What the petition asks
Cancel all vocational and technical exams 2021 due to the increasing health risks of sitting the exams with a new record of 60,000 new cases and 830 deaths in a day, as the new strain of covid19 is spreading like wildfire further putting more students at risk.
With the new updated guidelines it is not fair that some schools sit the exams and some don't. Ensure fairness for all students taking vocational and technical exams and assure parents who are concerned about their child's safety that they would not be sitting their BTEC exams in 2021.
