Require exam boards provide advance information about 2023 exam content

Closed 826 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government must ensure that exam boards offer advance information to students and teachers as to the content of 2023 GCSE and A Level exams. This should provide information about what content will be included in exams, along the lines of what has been provided this year.
Schools have been closed for around five months over the last two years, and individual students have also missed school due to positive tests. Collectively, pupils have missed hundreds of millions of schooldays. The greatest problem with this is that some have missed more than others, and some have caught up more than others. Therefore, it is necessary to give students some guidance regarding upcoming exams to ensure fairness across this cohort and grade equality with others.
