What the petition asks
As well as cancelling the current exams for this summer cancel the ones next year too. Do what Scotland did for the current exam years start of the academic year because of the disruption to their year as this year has been even more disruptive than the year before.
This year has deeply been disruptive for students starting their courses they have been in one week and remote the other, isolating, have had lessons cancelled and now a lockdown which could last until summer in their first year studying their courses. Students mental health has also suffered and now there is a pressure a head lockdown means students will suffer even more on top of that impending exams next year means in lockdown students will stress, students haven’t been able to focus too.
