A-level and GCSE Exams that are going to be done in 2021 should be cut down
Parliament should consider cutting down the amount of exams A-Level and GCSE students will sit in 2021 or consider cutting down the amount of material in the course due to lost learning time because of the pandemic
Students in Yrs 10 and 12 will have lost about at least a third of their learning time due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that they may not have consolidated their understanding on substantial parts of the course. Social distancing measures that may be in place may mean that subject specific teachers may not be able to teach some students, making them further disadvantaged. All this together means both teachers + students will be overstretched to complete the course to a good standard
