Cancel GCSE and A-level exams 2021
After spending months locked down and absent from school, as a collective, we students believe that the only fair and just thing to do it to cancel formal examinations in 2021.
I would like to request, on behalf of students, that the government introduce an alternative method of assessment to replace formal examinations in 2021. Due to the vast amount of time that we have spent away from class rooms this year the grades that would be achieved if exams went ahead would not be a true reflection of the ability of students. Ultimately it appears the only just thing to do is to cancel exams in 2021.
