Remove the requirement to remember quotes at GCSE English due to the Covid 19

Petition Details

Remove the requirement to memorise quotes for GCSE English Literature for 2023 exams due to continued impact from the Covid 19 Pandemic.

Additional Information

The Covid-19 Pandemic continues to bring disruption and disturbance to teaching time and learning time for pupils up and down the country. The requirement to memorise quotations for English Literature qualifications reduces contradicts the purpose of a GCSE english exam, by making the exam a memory test, rather than a focus on detailed analysis of texts. As the equations have been given for Maths and Physics, additional assistance should be given for English to ensure parity between subjects.

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 upcoming English Literature GCSE exam, but we're not sure if you want the Government to make these exams open book, or make changes to the curriculum content students will be tested on.

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