Change the exam process for GCSE 2022 students or cancel exams

Petition Details

Students in Year 10 have lost a huge amount of schooling in year 9 and 10 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Because of this they are behind on work and will not be as prepared to undertake exams in 2022.

We would like government to look at an alternative way of testing year 10 students in 2022.

Additional Information

We would like government to assess the current GCSE exam process and look at an alternative way of testing year 10 students in 2022 taking into consideration the loss of schooling they have had in 2020 - 2021
