Don’t send exam years back to school

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Students in exam years (11/13) should not go back to school. There will be immense pressure as schools will most definitely be giving exams/mocks which will form the most significant part of our final grade. In this sense, exams will not have been cancelled, but instead pushed forward

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you're concerned the use of tests to help determine teacher-awarded grades may put students under additional pressure, but we're not sure what you want the Government to do about this. The decision on whether to use tests and the role they will play in informing teacher-awarded grades is an operational matter for individual schools.
