Do not change the dates of GCSE exams so students can observe Ramadan
The dates for tests in the U.K have been moved forward so a minority of fasting Muslim students are not at a disadvantage. Thisd means that instead of 30% of the countries students being at a disadvantage the whole 100% are.
Moving the dates forward gives students less time to prepare for the most important test of their life.Regardless of the religion it is inconceivable that the many suffer for the "few." Religion shouldn't be involved in your future especially when its not your religion.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about the dates of exams are taken by exam boards, not by the UK Government or Parliament.
