Treat University exams the same as A-Levels and GCSEs
University students have been left with little to no support. With many struggling with mental health or financial situations, it is unfair to expect the high quality of work with the current additional stressors. Exams are cancelled for free education students and paying students are left helpless.
I am a final year honours student who does not qualify for a student loan. I hear from my peers and media every day about how the government has forgotten their students. If GCSEs and A-levels are cancelled then on what grounds should Uni exams continue? Students around the country have spoken feelings of abandonment, helplessness and uncertainty as Boris continuously ignores our ask for empathy.
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:
Decisions about university teaching, assessments and exams are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you have concerns about your university's arrangements for teaching and assessment you should raise these with your university or the Office for Students, which regulates the higher education sector.
We understand that the current situation is stressful for many people, including students. Student Minds, a mental health charity for students, is collating guidance and developing resources to support students experiencing stress as a result of the current situation, which you may find useful: www.studentminds.org.uk/coronavirus.html
