Rejected petition To make two optional courses at GCSE so students can pick a linear course with no coursework or a course which is joint exams and coursework

More details

I would like the government to change the GCSE system to separate courses that are optional. For example a course that include 0 coursework, or a course that is split. As the current system is unfair on students who struggle with coursework as it does not always test their knowledge.
