Petition Provide a 9-1 GCSE Law syllabus and encourage examination boards to follow it.

GCSE law is a great qualification as it allows students who do not have the knowledge to perform at a-level to show their ability in another way. Sadly, all the exam boards that provide the subject will scrap it in 2018. This petition calls on the government to provide a syllabus after that.

Without this subject, we risk causing a lack of knowledge around students who no longer have any reason to study law at 16. All the exam boards... Namely OCR and AQA plan to abolish the subject! http://www.aqa.org.uk/subjects/law/gcse/law-4160
