Cancel all 2021 A-Level/Pre-U examinations
Petition to cancel all A-Level and Pre-U examinations set to take place in 2021
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak all sixth form/college students have missed out on vital learning for their exams to be taken in 2021. Without a structured curriculum for students to follow at home and minimal teacher-student interaction, it is unjust to make students sit these exams as majority of the population would fail due to a lack of knowledge of the curriculum.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards and individual schools, and are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
Work with regulators and exam providers to clarify exam arrangements for 2021: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/312570
