Cancel all exams being taken place in the UK 2021

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Cancel ALL exams being taken in the UK, including international exams.
Every student no matter what exam they're taking within the UK has been disrupted by covid-19 resulting in remote learning. This is unfair for ALL students as they have missed almost a years worth of work in their academic year. Some students have to travel which is clearly unsafe and unfair. This will include international students (IGCSE's, IALEVEL's, IB etc.;) The only fair way to proceed is to cancel ALL exams taken within the UK.
