CANCEL 2022 EXAMS/GCSE’s. It’s not fair on everyone doing them that year!

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Exams is the fairest way to calculate students education/knowledge. This has been said by the government. As much as this statement is true. It wouldn’t be the right option for 2022 exams.
Year 11’s doing their exams in 2022 will not have enough education/knowledge on the topics they may be given. They would’ve lost half of year 9’s education and most of year 10’s education.
Do the government really expect them to learn Year 9, 10 and 11 in one year? That seems way too hard and will put lots of pressure onto them.
Practically Impossible. Covid maybe gone by 2022 exams. And so will the education of those in Year 11 that year. It is not fair on the students in Year 11 in 2022!
