Stop A Level and GCSE students being disadvantaged by grades being downgraded

Petition Details

A level and GCSE students are being downgraded by Ofqual by up to 33% due to standardisation. They are being graded on work no one knew was important at the time and this could be detrimental to their future plans.

Additional Information

We want the government to ensure that students aren’t unfairly disadvantaged and are given grades that their teachers gave them as the teachers know the students ability best.
