Make school to be more about learning and less about doing exams.
I’ve had to sit 24 exams this GCSE exam season. It is scary how many of my peers have suffered from things like suicidal thoughts, self harm, anxiety, and panic attacks. We want less exams, less pressure and we want going to school to be more about learning and not about doing exams.
GCSEs have recently been reformed to be assessed ‘mainly by exams’ and to contain ‘more demanding content’, but many teenagers are suffering as a result. We need a limit on the amount of GCSEs we can be made to sit (I had to sit more than double the amount that my college requires) and we need coursework to be brought back. It’s not fair that many of us have to put our mental health on the line as the cost for good grades.
