Lower the grade boundaries for GCSE and A-LEVEL exam 2021
Lower the gcse and A level boundaries for the 2021 exams because of the schools closure due to the Covid-19 schools closure
As we all know that the schools are closed at the movement and no idea when they are gonna open and if they do it’s certain that most of the parents are not gonna let their kids go to school for that reason a lot of year 10 and 12 are missing out on very important education for which reason that are going through a lot of stress and anxiety so we are asking that the grades boundaries should be lowered down
