Change A-Level essay subject exams from hand-written to computer typed.
Change humanities subjects (History, Politics, Geography, English etc) from being handwritten to typed in exams. This would improve the United Kingdom's ability in the tertiary sector.
I think the Education Secretary should create a new policy where exams that are totally essay based at A-Level should only be typed as opposed to being handwritten. GCSEs should carry on being written by hand so that the skill is adopted by all children, however when studying A-Levels I believe that it would be better if these exams were typed because a majority of workplaces require skills in typing, especially at a fast pace. Learning to type under timed conditions would improve our education.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
Require exam boards to give all students the option to type their exam answers: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/589313
