All GCSE/iGCSE grades to be awarded on teacher assessment

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

For the Minister for Education to back up his original decision that ALL GCSE students will receive grades based on their teachers assessment and for this to include iGCSE's too, and to match the decisions already taken by Wales and Scotland.
This is a decision that can only be taken by Parliament
