Due to the Corona virus pandemic schools have been closed since March 16, 2020. Many students do not have the privilege to access electronic devices which resulted in not being allowed Access to virtual education platforms. However, the Prime minister has still decided to continue with national exams. In the event that there is an emergency forecasted grades have been put in place to ensure that students receive a grade. Sign this petition to cancel national exams and use forecasted grades.

The momentum behind this petition is undeniable and the Ministry of Education can no longer pretend we are invisible. Our students are being set up to fail while the Prime Minister ignores the reality of this crisis. We are hitting a fever pitch and the pressure on these officials is just beginning.

It is unfair to commence with BGCSE because this year was a rough year for everyone. Most students did not learn much during the school year and especially did not learn much on online school because of complications at home.

The country is simply unprepared and 9/10 colleges are already not asking for them because they understand it is a tough time.

Children need to be climatized to get back into the school environment! Each subject has 2 or 3 sitting thats going to run us into 2 months it isn't fair to the bgcse and njc candidates that we must suffer because the ministry wasn’t proactive especially when we other measures to resort to for example forecast grades and transcript grades! Seems that statistics is all that matters. Its sad that we can not sacrifice to walk accross the stage to be acknowledged but we can sacrifice to sit exams that we are going to fail and thats going to exhaust and stress our individuals out

You guys should take note that forecasted grades are sometimes highly not representative of how a student will perform on the National Exam because of circumstances such as, (student teacher relationships , the tendency of the student to perform differently in exam conditions and regular school conditions...). I suggest just simply removing all extended level papers from the National Examination and all coursework required.
