Rejected petition Change the dates of A level/GCSE exams back to the original dates

The government have decided that exams will start 3 weeks later, as if this makes up for the many months of lost teaching, but this doesn’t benefit anyone. The government should revert back to the original exam dates rather than the current exam dates.

More details

This decision doesn’t benefit students in any way. The government are completely out of touch with the feelings of students. We have missed out on many months of face to face teaching, but exams being delayed for three weeks doesn’t make amends for this; it does nothing. Although we have missed months of teaching, it’s the content of the exams needs altering, not the exams being delayed by three weeks with no real reason why.
