Rejected petition For BTEC students across the UK to get predicted grades like GCSE & A-LEVEL
Most of the students simply want equality and to make sure everything is fair for everyone, we BTEC students work just as hard to get our grades and in this challenging times it leaves most of us confused and stressed enough about other stuff such as looking after other people and ourselves.

It will make sure all students get equal results and everyone’s future is put in the same place not just the A level or gcse students
