Rejected petition Award A level students in England exam marks predicted by their tutors.

Revoke the use of the standardisation algorithm and use the marks awarded by teachers as has been agreed in Scotland.
Thousands of students have had their life chances damaged by downgraded results which will affect them throughout their careers.

More details

I would like the Government or Parliament to accept the tutors predictive assessments, to allow students who have been downgraded to proceed with their future plans.
