This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Provide further measures for those taking GCSE exams this school year.
The current measures that have been provided to schools does not cover all subjects and in reality does not provide realistic measures, considering the amount of lessons missed this year due to covid and also online learning, which is not as effective as tutored lessons in a classroom.
More details
Further measures need to be put in place to ensure my school year is not disadvantaged and also placed under increased pressure and stress, as the examination measures mentioned to date are not relatively balanced for the amount of disruption we have received to our education. Some subjects have not even had any measures put in place to mitigate the missed education for the said subjects.
