GCSE English June 2014 petition to reinstate the English speaking exam already taken
We would like the Government to allow the pupils taking GCSE English in June 2014 to have their English speaking exam results included as part of their final marks as it was explained when they started this course in September 2012.
The pupils have already taken this exam earlier in the year and been given their results. Only recently, at the beginning of the new school year, have the School sent out an Email to say the Government has abolished this as part of the overall qualification.
What message are we sending our pupils?
They were told a year ago what the course entailed , how many exams were involved and how much as a percentage each exam was worth towards the final mark.
Then the government changed it
So basically they have studied for and taken part of an exam only to be told its worthless!!!
If the Government wishes to introduce changes they should implement them at the begining of the GCSE English course.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This issue is the responsibility of Ofqual, the regulator of qualifications, examinations and assessments in England. Ofqual is independent of Government.
