This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Give the A level students the grades given by their teachers not examiners.

Reconsider the A level predicted grades given to students by the examiners, when teachers were told to give fair grades regarding their students based on evidence: performance, mock, test results and course work. This undermines the teachers fair and frank grading of students they know.

More details

Because it has been unfair to state schools. Students that attended independent & private schools did not have their grades downgraded it was instructed by the government to downgrade state attending students. More pressure on teachers, universities, parents and students to find alternative courses and placements.
