As you can visually perceive in source 1 even exam regulators are verbally expressing that "incipient maths GCSEs too hard"
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for the difficulty of exam papers. Exam boards are responsible for the questions they set. Exam boards are regulated by the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual), which regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England.
You can make a complaint to Ofqual about the organisations it regulates. Further information about how to complain is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ofqual/about/complaints-procedure.
We could accept a petition asking the UK Government to make specific changes to the current GCSE syllabus.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
