Gcses in 2021 should be cancelled due to coronavirus,
Cancel gcses in 2021 in the UK as year 10 is a crucial year to prepare for gcses, they can not attend school as the country is on lock down.
Studying from home can be distracting for many students and might not be able to focus. Year 10 has most of the content for gcses and if they are unable to learn at home, they will fail their gcses or have results that are under their predicted grades as they lack knowledge.
