Rejected petition Terminate Year 12 academic year as COVID-19 makes studying from home impossible.
The current Year 12s are expected to learn the years content by themselves at home, this is itself extremely difficult however with the addition of the stress and panic from a worldwide pandemic and the fact that majority of students don’t have a quiet place to study because of the lockdown.
More details
The Government should terminate the year and create a new custom curriculum which would start to be taught from the next academic year and the exams will be based purely on the new curriculum.
