Reduce the content of A-levels for next years exams

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Reducing the A-level content for next years exams would relieve a huge amount of pressure for current Year 12 students. We have missed a considerable amount of school and it is unreasonable to expect us to take exams normally under these circumstances.

Whilst this may be something that Parliament would consider next year, I want to urge them to take action now, to prevent an unnecessary amount overwhelming stress for current Year 12 students.
