For exams in 2021 to be reasonably adapted to accommodate reduced teaching hours
For the government to allow students taking exams in 2021 to have adequate provision to allow students to have all an equal opportunity at success. This situation has only highlighted inequality within the education system will mean that many students are significantly disadvantaged due to COVID-19
As the government have not adequately addressed how students are expected to make progress into the next stages of their life and have not shown any consideration to students that will be significantly disadvantaged due to socioeconomic circumstances. While this year's exams have been addressed no provision has been given for next years students to have an equal opportunity to succeed in their education and are faced with rising uncertainty about their future.
