Cancel college exams

What the petition asks
Cancel college exams for this year due to the pandemic as college students have not gotten enough help and support by teacher
Why it was rejected
The UK Government or Parliament was already taking the action it asked for.
On 4 January the Prime Minister stated that it is not possible or fair for all exams to go ahead this summer as normal, and that the Education Secretary will work with Ofqual to put in place alternative arrangements: https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/prime-ministers-address-to-the-nation-4-january-2021
