Rejected petition: Education system and exams
Rejected on
SEND System needs reforming and so does the examination system
The SEND system needs reform because young people aren’t always getting the support they need. I’ve experienced this firsthand with my exams, which wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t have additional needs. The pressure during exams is overwhelming and causes stress and anxiety, especially for those who aren’t academically gifted. This is unfair and unjust, as our country forces young people to the limit constantly which is not right!
