Rejected petition Make provision for 2022's level 2 and 3 qualifications to be fairer to students

This petition calls on Government, specifically the DfE to make all GCSEs and A levels to be sat in 2022 be based at least 50% on coursework and teacher assessment, and to reduce the role of exams, given the disruption that those who will take them in 2022 suffered over the last 12 months.

More details

Given that the last year has seen unprecedented disruption to education and the insane levels of dependence on exams in GCSEs and A levels, this petition demands that the Department for Education reduces the dependence on exams for the 2022 exam season, and to establish a robust system of teacher assessment and coursework to comprise at least 50% of any given student's grade. This would allow for students to get a more representative grade, while also incorporating some elements of exams.
