Cut down on the specification for the GCSE exams in 2021
Reduce the material that the (current) students of year 10 (as of 2020) have to learn for the upcoming GCSE exams in 2021 from most of the material-heavy subjects
Amidst the pandemic, the quality of education via laptop screens is definitely not the best form of education. Without knowing when we might go back to school, we cannot anticipate the quantity of material we might have to learn when we actually do return to school. Reducing the specification of the GCSE exams would be a more convenient option for us students, as it would inhibit the stress that we have to carry whilst simultaneously cramming tons of information into our heads
