What the petition asks
We would like you to prohibit any exams to be taken place during the outbreak of Covid. We believe students are being put under too much pressure because of the added stress Covid causes and the disruption to school life.
It is unfair for some student to sit exams and some not. All students, regardless of the education they received during the first lockdown, suffer from the same stresses and pressure Covid is causing.
There are family members, friends and members of our community dying yet you still want students to take exams during this incredibly worrying and depressing time.
The governments late decision, and uncertainties over exams have made students feel even more anxious and frustrated.
