Rejected petition Do not implement 'mini-exams' as a replacement to GCSE's and A levels.
Gavin Williamson MP and the Department for Education should under no circumstances implement 'mini-exams' as a replacement to GCSE's and A levels. This is unfair to students across the nation especially those from a disadvantaged background.
More details
It is imperative a new system is devised to allocate grades to ensure that students across the UK are being treated fairly and under the recent proposals to introduce these new 'mini exams' it would certainly not be a just alternative for students sitting A levels and GCSE's this summer.
