I think we should cancel the exams next year!
I want the Government to cancel all GCSES and A - Levels next year because it’s unfair as they haven’t had time in school.
Its even more unfair on the people doing exams next year as they basically had to teach themselves their exams and won’t have time to properly learn all the things they need. And learning from home isn’t the most reliable way of learning plus learning one on one with a teacher is a better way of learning.
It wasn’t even bad on the people who exams were cancelled this year because they basically learned most of their knowledge as their exams were only in a couple of months.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
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
