Rejected petition Cancel GCSEs and A Levels in Northern Ireland
It is deeply unfair that pupils in Northern Ireland have to sit GCSE and A Level Exams, Peter Weir is failing the country and the government need to cancel the exams. Sign this petition and get the exams cancelled. We have missed over 4 months teaching time.
More details
It is unfair that we should have to sit these exams, we have missed over 4 months of face to face teaching time. It is deeply stressful to sit exams in what has been the strangest of years. Peter Weir, Education Minister, has failed the country and his students, he is a "Last Minute Minister". The gov need to step in and cancel exams here and have a unified response to the rest of the UK.
