Petition Action

Move forward next year's A levels and GCSES

Petition Details

Next year the GCSES should be moved forward to give students more time on work lost due to covid19.

Additional Information

Schools have been closed for 5 weeks now. School children are missing out fundamental time on their learning, especially the current year 10s who will be facing their GCSES next year. Students who are part of the working class are struggling due to insufficient funding in resources and not enough school study time. Please, to show you care about the working class instead of only the upper class, delay next year's GCSES and A levels by at least three weeks. It will make a huge difference. Thanks
