Rejected petition Release an official statement regarding the decision to delay GCSEs/A Levels.

Have the government release a formal and official statement regarding the postponement/cancellation of GCSE and A Level exams. Inform us if and when they will happen, and if not, the measures to be taken by the government to ensure students get their qualifications that they need for their futures.

More details

Year 11's and Year 13's are confused as to what their future holds. We would like to know whether we need to continue revising, getting support and learning, or whether we should be prepared to receive previously predicted grades. The government has been vague in their response to similar questions, but we need answers, and we need answers as soon as possible. We want to do the best we can, the government needs to let us by informing us as to the verdict on exam dates or replacement measures.
