Rejected petition Cancel all examinations for 2020

In my opinion, all examinations should be cancelled in 2020 because children have missed almost 6 months of school. And schools put too much pressure on examinations and children as it is.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

Another petition calling for GCSE and A level examinations to be cancelled is already collecting signatures: https://petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/244241

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
