Marcus George started this petition to Education

Cancel all BTEC examinations this year. Postponing is a logistical nightmare and going ahead with them at this point is going to cause more stress and anxiety on a whole generation of students who are already suffering with an unprecedented level of mental health issues.

How will this work? Simple... By showing you have as much trust and faith in teachers as you need to have in your NHS and other key personnel over the next few months.

1. Allow teachers to give honest predicted grades for their students. We know them as more than just statistics. We are not going to try to 'cheat the system'. Students have done the work - the only element they will be missing from their education is the final exam. Will some students gain a better grade than if they sat the final exam? Probably. Will there  be others that may well have done better had they had the opportunity to sit the exam under 'normal' conditions? Likely, but these are not normal conditions and teacher predictions will likely be a more accurate reflection of the vast majority of students educational journey over the past few years than a couple of hours writing a paper in these extraordinary times.
