Closed petition Require exams to be conducted digitally from 2025
Closed on
This should reduce the cost and environmental impact of exams and enable all children to gain the best possible grade by not being hindered by poor handwriting. This should also ensure children are prepared for a 21st century workplace.
We would like the government to legislate requiring schools and examination boards to move over to paperless exams by 2025. We would like funding to be made available in the short term so all schools have access to technology to achieve this. We would like exam officers to receive training on how to run paperless exams. We would like schools to receive additional funding on improving internet connection and ICT provision.
