Cancel all IGCSE exams in 2021
please cancel all iGCSE exams that are happening in 2021 despite domestic GCSEs being cancelled
We didn't receive a proper education from march until September. Many students still had to isolate within the time we were back in school. This time was just 12 weeks. We are now in lockdown again just a few months before our exams. It is impossible to complete group work and science practicals as well as get a full understanding of the curriculum. This uncertainty is causing so much anxiety for pupils. We were off school just like schools doing domestic GCSEs, why should we have to do them?
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 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
