Support for GCSE and A-Level exams in 2024 due to impact of covid-19 and strikes

Closed 502 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to work with exam boards and Ofqual put in place the same interventions for 2024 as were in place for 2022; the provision of advance information to students, and more generous grading. This would reflect the impact of covid-19 and strikes on these cohorts.

The residual impact of Covid-19 lockdowns and the large scale disruption caused by teachers strikes is appalling. Students in years 10 and 12 are struggling endlessly with a constantly changing situation, and the expectation of having to sit examinations ‘as normal’. We believe implementing measures along the lines of those in place for 2022 exams would be a fair and appropriate support measure for students in these cohorts due to the extreme circumstances that we hope will never be witnessed again.
