Stop the AQE tests


Stop the AQE tests
The Issue
So after announcing that the tests could not continue in January, following public health advice, AQE LTD have now proceeded to say that the normal 3 tests children normally do will now be replaced by only 1 test. This is unfair on the children and does not give them a fair chance especially as this one test will now be carried out after 6 weeks of remote learning and no face to face education. The other post primary test ran by PPTC has been completely cancelled and there is no reason why AQE grammar schools can not change the criteria for this one particular year!
By signing this petition we would like the government to step in and cancel the test. What happens if your child has to self isolate over the time of the test? At least with the three tests there was a chance your child could complete one even in the case of being required to self isolate!
