Rejected petition Cancel IGCSE and Pre-U examinations

The government should ensure these sets of exams are cancelled as well if the regular GCSEs and A-levels are cancelled. It’s not fair some children take exams and some don’t when all children had to miss a lot of school.

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 individual exam boards and educational institutions, not the Government or House of Commons.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
