Cancel all BTEC exams held this January.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Cancel the BTEC exams held this January for the safety of students, their families and invigilators that are involved. Many do not feel safe travelling to school and then sitting in an exam hall for several hours, especially while in a national lockdown.
With nearly 60,000 cases of Covid just today and the death toll over 80,000. Cases are higher than ever, how can you justify continuing with these exams, compromising the safety of all involved?
