Rejected petition Scrap all coursework & cut 20% of exam content for each A-Level subject in 2021.

As public opinion has shown, cancelling exams isn’t the answer - but pushing them back by 3 weeks and assessing Year 13s on the full curricula isn’t either. We call on the government to consider this feasible & rational option that will ensure exams take place & that students are treated fairly.

More details

Some content for Y11 students has been cut, but no provisions have been made for Y13s.
Although every student has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the current Year 13s have clearly been hit the hardest with many students unable to continue their education due to personal commitments (i.e. being a young carer) and a lack of reassurance given over the future of their educational careers.
This is a sensible proposal which will ensure exams take place and that Year 13s are respected.
