To make mental health more aware and to consider ditching exams.
Many teenagers are suffering with mental health issues and the main reason is due to exam stress. For example, GCSEs are just certificates to prove you went to secondary school. 3/4 the stuff we learn is irrelevant and won’t be needed later in life. Learn about things such as setting up a business.
In my opinion exams are pointless. Teachers are teaching students pointless information that you’re never going to need in your life again. There’s no need for end of year tests. We need to be learning about things that we’re going to be dealing with in the future. Such as how to deal with taxes and how to self defend ourselves. Not to be able to name the first 15 square root numbers and to solve the equation of a line. This needs to change as there’s more important things to learn in life.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the impact of exams on students' wellbeing, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
