Rejected petition Stop the 33% downgrading of this years exam results
Reverse the downgrade of exam results by 33% of 2020 that will hugely impact the futures of many young people across the country that have worked hard for their predicted grades.
More details
If teachers are not trusted to give their expert advice, then why are we trusting them with young people’s education. Many young people have worked so hard for these exams only for them to be cancelled, and they should be awarded fair results.
