To cancel A level Exams for the class of 2021 or lower the grade boundaries.
I would like to government to take into consideration what the coronavirus pandemic has caused for students who are meant to be taking their A Level exams next year as many are unable to work and concentrate properly at this time as they are not in a classroom environment.
I would like parliament to think about cancelling the exams until a further date maybe adding another college year for students who have struggled to catch up with their learning or lowering the grade boundaries so that many pupils with have fair chance when sitting these important exams with can have a massive impact on their future. It is vital that the government helps these students who are missing out on vital parts of their education due to this pandemic.
