Petition Action

Cancel International GCSEs

Petition Details

I want Gavin Williamson to enforce the international boards to comply with ofqual and use teacher assessed grades.

Additional Information

We need to cancel international GCSEs because it is important to keep consistency across all boards. State schools and private schools have both lost teaching time.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions about courses and assessments that are delivered by independent educational institutions, as opposed to state schools, are a matter for individual exam boards and educational institutions, not the Government or House of Commons.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to prohibit any exams from taking place during the Covid-19 outbreak, if that is something you want to happen.

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
