This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition A-level and GCSE to be graded according to predicted grades due to COVID.
Due to the prevailing virus and the inability to pass the exams in Spring 2020. Their work is reflected in predicted grades and grades from A-level and GCSE exams should be the same as the predicted grade.
I cannot imagine my child with asthma, in a mask and at risk of health, will write well.
More details
Many students received lower grades than their predicted grades.
Students do not had a chance to demonstrate knowledge of subjects at the Spring 2020 exams. The grades should be identical to the predicted grades.
How students are under such stress, possibly wearing masks, unable to breathe normally, risking their health and life, write their exams well? In countries where children completed their A-level exams this year, the results were the worst compared to the results from previous years.
