Petition Action

Cancel A-Level and GCSE exams 2021

Petition Details

We want the government to cancel any live exams due to take place in 2021, and to figure out a better system for the calculation of grades

Additional Information

We want this to happen due to the affect of Covid-19 on our education. Many of us have experienced a lack of quality education, severely reduced motivation and deteriorating mental health.
