Rejected petition Reduce stress for students towards exams by replacing SAT's with an alternative.
Review the way we approach standardised testing in the UK and in turn make school a less stressful environment where students are encouraged to thrive and be self motivated. With a higher focus on mental health and wellbeing rather than just the pressurised exams.
More details
We have seen first hand and through the research that we have done how the stress of exams harm our peers and the wider student community. The standard of education they get isn't as effective due to the fact that teachers are pressured to focus on attaining the highest exam results possible rather than giving their students a well rounded and happy education.
