Rejected petition Remove Graphics design as a GCSE course.

Remove Graphics design as the exam board or at least advertise it properly as we are being misled

More details

I believe this course is currently causing depression to surge within children taking this course, everyone that has done this course has been misled into believing this course was about designing, whereas in reality all they do is sit around and writing useless PowerPoints they will never use in the real world. This subject could be replaced with something much more useful in the real world.

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.

There are two different GCSEs that cover graphic design, and we are not sure if you want those GCSEs removed from the curriculum, or whether you want the content of those GCSEs amended.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
