What the petition asks

Students in Year 10 have lost a huge amount of schooling in year 9 and 10 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Because of this they are behind on work and will not be as prepared to undertake exams in 2022.

We would like government to look at an alternative way of testing year 10 students in 2022.
