Rejected petition Introduce a new intermediate maths paper for GCSE students.

GCSE maths is a very hard subject and yes it’s not supposed to be easy but it could be made slightly less difficult. Many students in my school agree that higher tier maths is hard but foundation tier is not challenging enough therefore the government should agree to bring back intermediate maths.

More details

By introducing intermediate maths papers. Exam boards will be able to cover everyone’s ability. For example Students who want to get into Oxford or Cambridge can really stretch themselves in higher tier papers whereas those who find the subject difficult can enter intermediate or foundation depending on there ability.
