Petition Action

get rid of the grading system for GCSE and A level

Petition Details

I want the government and parliament to think about the current state of the education system. Do we want an education system where people see no inherent value in education except for a grade? I want the way we assess students to be rethought, especially current exams like GCSE and A level.

Additional Information

If you want curious, critical thinkers the solution is not to give them grades. students should be working together. the introduction of grades has introduced the mindset that someone will do whatever it takes to succeed. Nothing we do externally will work,the solution has to come from the inside, this means having intrinsic motivation not extrinsic. students should be given the freedom to decide what they want to get out of their education and not be constrained by the binary system of grades.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the current grading system for GCSEs and A-levels, but we're not sure what you want it to be replaced with.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
