This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Education is devolved so exams in Scotland are a matter for the Scottish Government and Scottish Qualifications Authority, not the UK Government or House of Commons.

You can petition the Scottish Parliament directly: www.parliament.scot/gettinginvolved/petitions/CreateAPetition.aspx

Exam cancellations and the current coronavirus pandemic can cause worry and stress. You can find information on how to deal with stress here:
