Btec students should get their expected grades through the Coronavirus struggles
BTEC students should have the same policy that exam based studies have as they are not able to get the help they need to pass. Like A levels and GCSE students they should get their predicted grades to provide them with the same opportunities as these students.
BTEC students are struggling to get the resources they need to complete their work up to the standard they require or to the standards they would with in classroom help. This is an unfair disadvantage due to the lack of opportunities this would provide if people weren’t getting the grades they need due to the lack of resources and help because of the crises. An example of this would be conditional offers to university. People will miss out on their place due to the lack of help available to them

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about exams are a matter for exam boards, individual schools and Ofqual, and are not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.
Exam cancellations and the current coronavirus pandemic can cause worry and stress. You can find information on how to deal with stress here:
