Remove all forms of exam for a level and GCSE students for the year 2021

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Ensure that no students have to sit any form of large or medium size exam in order to determine a level or GCSE grades, this is unfair and will mean an unfair grade will be provided

The pandemic has stopped learning for a vast amount of young people in the UK, we are expected to return to our places of education and sit exams in order to determine our grades, these grades will not be an accurate reflection of our knowledge, however they will show who can cram the most amount of revision in a short period and recall it, this is unfair and stressful for A level students and GCSE students, who haven’t been able to relive any sort of emotion in the lockdown.
