NO GCSE’s For the upcoming year 11’s


NO GCSE’s For the upcoming year 11’s
The Issue
This upcoming year 11’s have missed around a year of education and how is this fair on them?
The amount of stress and anxiety they will feel and barely having the same opportunities as the last years.
I feel that this year should be cancelled because of the lack of time and work they’ve had.
These students are under more pressure than at any point in living memory. This can then lead them into depression, sleep deprivation and many other mental health issues.
Some of the responses from pupils were alarming. “GCSEs have been a horrible experience,” says one 16-year-old. “I have suffered from panic attacks and a high increase in anxiety. It’s quite scary how as a student I find it normal to see my peers break down in lessons as they are scared of what’s going to happen to them in the future if they fail.”
