This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition The government should not impose any additional exams on return back to school.
The pandemic has had a detrimental impact on students. As the government have announced, exams are ‘cancelled’. There is high possibility that The Department For Education will impose ‘mini-exams’ once students return back to school and this is what our final grades may be decided on.
More details
This deeply unfair strategy, which the department for education may plan to impose on students, who are taking BTECs, GCSEs and A-levels, will disadvantage students, through, further education, apprenticeships and employment. The fairest strategy, under the circumstances we are in, is to give teachers the responsibility and install trust and faith in them to grade students, fairly. Don't let politcans decide YOUR future. We all must act now!
