End of year exams are a crucial aspect of the education system, serving as a way to evaluate students understanding and retention of course material. However, they are also a source of stress and anxiety for many students. Petitions under this topic highlight issues such as the negative impact of high-stakes exams on mental health and well-being, as well as calls for alternative assessment methods that are more student-friendly and inclusive.
One petition gaining traction calls for the removal of end of year exams, arguing that they do not accurately reflect students abilities and place unnecessary pressure on them. Another petition advocates for the implementation of continuous assessment throughout the academic year to alleviate the burden of a single exam determining overall grades.
