Rejected petition Cancel Pre-U exams in the UK for 2021

As A-level exams are already cancelled, why not cancel the rest as it isn’t fair. Cancel Pre-U exams and give everyones mental health a rest.

More details

Current Year 13’s has had majority of their A-level year at home in their rooms. Our mental health is at stake now. The relief we all had when we heard our exams are cancelled was felt throughout England, but now we’re told that’s not true. I can speak for a fact that us, year 13’s, can’t take it anymore.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Decisions about courses and assessments that are delivered by independent educational institutions, as opposed to state schools, are a matter for indiviudal exam boards and educational institutions, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to work with independent exam providers to review arrangements for examinations that take place during the Covid-19 outbreak, if that is something you want to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
