Rejected petition Abolish mandatory GCSE Welsh exams in schools.

Our child is currently studying mandatory Welsh GCSE and finds it difficult to comprehend , ending regularly in tears hindering progress in other subjects due to the immense stress. All children have been affected immensely due to lockdown and to add the pressure at GCSE is non sensical . This subject should be optional not mandatory. Enough is enough !
