Cancel GCSEs 2021
Due to the quarantine put in place, many students have fallen behind in their study’s and as a result will fail there GCSEs. Students who have better WiFi and better technology will have more chance of passing their GCSEs as the quality of lessons will be higher.
It is immoral to let GCSEs 2021 go ahead as it is no longer a judgement of intelligence but instead who has better access to learning material. Students are no longer on a balanced playing field as home life is different for every student. It will be impossible for students to catch up on the work they missed and postponing GCSEs will only create more problems.
