What the petition asks
Coronavirus has severely disrupted the preparation for GCSE’s and has had a effect on students learning. Since the closure of schools back in March students have had almost 9 months off school which is equivalent to 273 days outside the classroom. This may be the difference between a students grade.
I believe the government should listen too young people who have 1st hand experience on the disruption coronavirus has done too their learning and strategise how they are going to deal with the problem.
As a current year 10 I have seen the effects coronavirus has done on exams and believe something has to be done by the government to construct a more coordinated approach.
