Scrap the 9-1 system for GCSE's and A levels

Petition Details

GCSE students are aspiring to get As and A*s, not 8s and 9s. Putting A Level content into GCSE exams is not the ways forward, they are two different things and should always remain so.

Additional Information

Students currently in year 11 will get results with a mixed bag of numbers and grades, while those younger than them will get mostly numbers. For a system that is said to bring out the best in this generation's pupils, it has been getting mostly negative feedback and takes years before it is fully implemented. Putting A Level content into GCSE exams is not the ways forward, they are two different things and should always remain so.
