Exchange GCSE's for 1 to 5 year work experience
We believe that the GCSE system puts a tremendous amount of pressure on teens
And should be changed to 1 to 5 year work experience in specific areas.
Someone with 2 years experience will be chosen over someone with amazing GCSE scores in a job scenario.
There is an extraordinary amount of pressure on teens taking GCSEs as it will set them up for life and are their most important exams. But this pressure is far too overwhelming and causing stress. With all this stress to get a good grade and pass with straight 9s. Feeling this overwhelming stress for a long period of time is often called long-term stress, and it impacts both physical and mental health. Stress also can cause high blood pressure and heart disease. However with classrooms especially designed to give experience in certain jobs and careers this would greatly decrease the amount of stressed out teens spending half their day revising things they may never need to use in the real world.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We understand that you're concerned about GCSEs, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure whether you want to replace GCSEs with work experience, classroom-based vocational learning or both.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or you could sign this petition, if it calls for what you want to happen:
