Rejected petition: Make GCSES affordable for Home education families
Rejected on
The government should support home-educated students by funding or reducing GCSE exam fees. Parliament should ensure fair access to exam centres, clear GCSE arrangements, and equal treatment so home-educated learners are not disadvantaged compared to school students.
Home-educated students face high GCSE exam fees and limited access to exam centres, while school students take exams with no extra cost. This creates unfair barriers and can affect future education, apprenticeships, and career opportunities. The government should fund or reduce fees, provide clear guidance on exam arrangements, and ensure equal access so home-educated learners have the same chances to succeed academically, socially, and personally.
