Rejected petition Stop the 33% downgrade of 2020 A level and GCSE results

The Government Dept responsible for A Level and GCSE results has decided in their wisdom to reduce teacher chosen grades by up to 33%
We call on Boris Johnson to intervene now and stop this. No school is going to set a child up for something they cannot achieve, that would be senseless.

More details

Genuine A* students with top university offers face not getting their firmed place, this is the rest of their lives being played with like they are pawns in the government’s game. This is the life they have worked hard for and deserve.

All students with conditional offers have their futures at risk, this is wrong... bright kids, deserving kids, hard-working kids having their futures ripped away.. please help us get this petition to parliament ASAP before more kids’ lives are destroyed.
