Petition Review 2022 exam arrangements for GCSEs and A-levels
Right now, the government is heavily focused on GCSEs and A-levels for 2021. However, the government needs to review exam arrangements for 2022 as we will not be spending a lot of time in class but online. Reverting to pre-covid times could be a disaster since we will not be in classrooms.
More details
The Government should work with Ofqual to ensure that students know what topics will be covered, and consider whether it is appropriate to make any changes to grade boundaries, so that students will be examined fairly.
