Rejected petition Re-evaluate our education system

Taking a singular exam to determine ones outcome of life seems unfair and a poor determiner of proper knowledge. Having teacher input, as seen from the recent COVID-19 exams, aswell as coursework, mock exams and oral/written class work should all be examined to fully produce a final grade.

More details

Though this may take more time and greater effort, it will benefit students by giving them a more accurate grade and also allow those students with mental health issues who may struggle with exams, a fairer chance at getting a true representation of their abilities. Having one exam determine it all seems unfair and lazy.
