Rejected petition Make 2021 external A level and GCSE exams online exams

The Government and Parliament should enable external students to take their 2021 exams online, (that includes A-level exams and GCSE exams) so that they can progress through school without having to wait another year

More details

Many people have had to drop out of school and college or are being home schooled and cannot take their exams as they are being cancelled due to Covid-19 therefore they have to wait for the following year to complete their exams. The 2020 exams were cancelled and if the 2021 exams also get cancelled then people would've missed out on 2 opportunities to complete their exams and would've now had waited for 2 years to complete them giving them an unfair chance
