Rejected petition Cancel the International Baccalaureate exams for students in the United Kingdom

Allow the International Baccalaureate examinations for students sitting them in the 2021 year to be cancelled, the same as GCSE and A Level examinations.

More details

Students across the country have faced several months of school, not gaining a sufficient education to be able to complete the April 2021 examinations, due to the coronavirus pandemic. As students, we believe that this is unfair and should be taken into account. A Level examination will not go ahead and therefore we believe that the fairest and justifiable thing to do would be to cancel the examinations for the IB diploma too.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or House of Commons are directly responsible for.

The International Baccalaureate is an international programme offered by independent providers, so decisions about any changes to the courses offered would be a matter for each provider, not the Government or House of Commons.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
