Rejected petition Abolish GCSE English literature

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure if you'd like GCSE English Literature to be completely abolished as a subject, or if you'd like the exams to be "open book" rather than "closed book", so that people don't have to learn quotations.

If you'd like open book exams, you could sign this petition:

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/200299

Otherwise, you could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
