Rejected petition Make exam boards transparent and retake them under government control.
Given the amount of leaks that examination boards such as Edexcel have faced in recent years, student who have done their exams cleanly are at a clear disadvantage. As a student, I would like the government to properly investigate in the operations and procedures that examination boards are using.
