Rejected petition Government to talk with Exam boards to cancel 2021 GCSE and A level exams

the youth of the UK want the government to take action and speak to exam boards and teaching unions, so that the 2021 exams can be cancelled, or postponed until next year August.

More details

Many students across the UK feel stressed about the upcoming 2021 exams, therefore considering the impact that the current situation has had on young minds, those who have lost loved ones will be impacted most, as their mental health will deteriorate from all of the stress placed upon them. So, if the government care about the leaders of tomorrow then they should help to make sure that they will be primed for their place in society once they reach the age of 16 or 18.
