Cancel 'Mini Exams' to be sat at the end of summer for GCSE and A-Level Students
The education secretary stated that mini exams may be taken towards end of summer to help with teacher predictions. This is totally unfair on students who have missed valuable learning time due to Covid-19 and completly depletes the purpose of the prime ministers decision to cancel exams.
The Government should cancel these exams and instead give teacher predictions for the work students have carried out during their A-Level or GCSE course. This would be much better for students as it would reduce stress and provide students with the chance to achieve the best they possibly can.
