Rejected petition The government should not downgrade 33% of students GCSE and A level results
I want them to not do a 33% downgrade on students GCSE and A levels
More details
I’m in year 11. I have been looking forward to my GCSEs for five years - my secondary school education . I understand that they had to be cancelled due to Covid 19 concerns however these results are an important part of my future and I believe the government is just messing with it . They are going to downgrade 33% of our GCSEs and A level results . That’s quite a lot. And it would be unfair because if this was just a normal year and teachers predicted me a grade I could have gotten the grade .
