This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We understand you want students to be able to sit exams at home, however it is not clear which types of exams you are referring to, nor whether you are referring to school, college or university students.

In any case, the Government has confirmed that GCSE and A-level exams will not take place this year, with students' grades calculated by their teachers in line with guidance provided by the Government. You can read more about this here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/awarding-qualifications-in-summer-2021/awarding-qualifications-in-summer-2021.

If there is a specific change that you would like the Government to make to these exam arrangements, you could start a petition about that.

Exam arrangements and the current coronavirus pandemic can cause worry and stress. You can find information on how to deal with stress here:
