Rejected petition Reverse the ban coursework assessment of GCSE & A-level students

More details

The Education department has imposed a change on all students after the current year such that no coursework will be assessed and results will be judged solely by end of year exams. This creates immense pressure on students, results in some of the most capable vastly under-achieving, and penalises those who work steadily throughout the year. This is dogma playing with the lives and futures of our children.
