Rejected petition Reduce the content of A Level examinations

The Government should reduce the content of A Level examinations in 2021 due to the disruption of Covid-19. Approximately 6 months of adequate teaching has been lost, and pushing the exams back by a couple of weeks is not enough. This has already had a huge impact on the studying of so many.

More details

Students in the UK have already missed hundreds of hours of learning since March. Some pupils don’t have the essential resources: a working computer, textbooks, stationary, etc. Many don’t have a proper learning environment, therefore results will most certainly not reflect the true potential of pupils. Hence why I am writing to the Government to reduce the content of A Level examinations to allow students across the country to be much better equipped and less disadvantaged.
