P-06-1239 Cancel GCSE Exams in Wales

This petition was submitted by Millie Rae, having collected a total of 396 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

There is uncertainty around the cancellation of exams. This adds extra stress to learners who haven’t had a full year of education since 2019! By having Centre Assessed Grades, students will feel more secure. The mental health and well being of students should be the first priority in this decision making process. Sign this petition now and help Year 10 and 11 reach their full potentials and get the grades they deserve.
