As a student at STI College, We are deeply concerned with the implications of the current 50% exam grading system. Along with many fellow students, am dealing with not just academic pressures, but increased levels of stress and mental health concerns due to the heightened expectations and workload. Many talented students are at the brink of failing due to this new grading system, which is much tougher than the previous one. 

This is a detrimental situation, which threatens the future of many bright minds in our institution. Historically, academic institutions in STI COLLEGE transitioned to a 50% exam grading system to increase competitiveness. However, the situation at STI College demands critical consideration. It is a statistical fact that even slight increases in academic pressure can lead to increased rates of stress, anxiety, and depression among students (Source: Philippine Journal of Psychology). 

It is time we prioritized our mental health as much as our academics. We propose that STI College resurrect the previous grading system. This solution considers both the academic growth and mental well-being of STI students. Please join us in the fight for a more balanced and compassionate learning environment. Sign the petition.
