Remove the GCSEs, change the system to Sweden's education system
The GCSEs are extremely stressful, unfair, and can lead to depression which can even eventually lead that student to having no confidence in passing or it can lead to suicidal thoughts.
Reports show that students are now having panic attacks and some are trying or have committed suicide due to the exam stress of the GCSEs.
Exam stress can affect how you preform on the day of the exam as you can do the classwork up to a good standard but in the exam it has the quality of a grade 2.
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:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Swedish students take examinations in Swedish, English and Maths at age 15/16. We're not sure which aspects of the Swedish system you want to replicate.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
There are already petitions about the school exam system and young people's mental health, which you might like to sign if they call for something you want to happen. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
