Petition for fairer GCSE and A-level exams in 2021 surpasses 25,000 signatures in under 24 hours
People take part in a protest outside Downing Street in London over the government's handling of exam results after A-level and GCSE exams were cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak
MORE than 25,000 people have signed a petition calling for fairer GCSE and A-level exams next year in its first 24 hours.
The petition, launched by the National Education Union (NEU) on Wednesday night, is addressed to PM Boris Johnson and demands that urgent action be taken to “fix” the exams system.
It comes after the government mishandled this year’s grading processes for students, following the cancellation of all summer exams due to the coronavirus pandemic.
