Rejected petition: Gsce grades that are 1-4 away from a pass should be considered a pass
Rejected on
Many students have suffered due to 1-4 marks away from the passing grade, I believe that they should be credited the pass regardless as they were close and they have the skill and knowledge for a pass
Many students each year due to being very close to passing often experience lack of opportunites due to not passing depsite they were really close to the minimum requirements. This can help save millions for the government and help students.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about grade boundaries are a matter for exam boards, OFQUAL and individual schools, and are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
