Review the amount of written exams for GCSEs
We want the Government to consider reducing the amount of written exams a student should have to take during GCSEs
Research suggests 63% of pupils struggle with exams due to mental health issues. A normal student takes around 18-25 exams during GCSEs. We think it should be reduced to relieve stress for students and to not put as much pressure on pupils.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
