CANCEL 2021 MINI EXAMS

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Goverment has quietly released that Pupils "mini exams" will be externally set . This is not fair on many students due to the pandemic( especually students of an ethnic /working class background). We need the government to trust our teacher and SCRAP mini exams. OUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS!

We want the government to scrap "mini externally set exams ", as this is the opposite to what they promised. We want them to put their full trust in teachers this year.
