Rejected petition Reduce the content of AS and A-levels

Content of AS and A-levels should be reduced for every subject. Due to being off over the last 6 months it has been extremely hard for everyone to get back into the routine of school never mind the step up from GCSE’s to AS.

More details

In normal years the content is excessive so it isn’t fair that we should be expected to learn the same amount with so many disruptions and changes to our lives, routines and community. Extending the starting time of exams is not enough. The content needs to be reduced for the sake of both pupils’ and teachers’ mental health. Exams are stressful in normal years so expecting us to sit exams in these uncertain times is not fair.
