The Government’s GCSE Resit Policy…your thoughts…your say?
Did you know that despite multiple attempts of sitting GCSE exams in maths and English, ¾ of 16 year olds still don’t have a Grade C/Grade 4 when they turn 19!
There have been questions, for such a long time surrounding the Government Policy that requires all 16-18 year olds that have a Grade D/Grade 3 in their GCSE maths and English to re-sit them, as many fail this time and time again.
What are your thoughts on the Government’s GCSE Resit Policy for 16-18 year olds…do you think that young people should have a choice to study Functional Skills maths and English instead of GCSEs?
The AELP (Association of Employers and Learning Providers), along with the AOC (Association of Colleges) have been lobbying the government for a very long time about this and have started a petition…Ofsted have even publically questioned this policy.
If you agree that teaching professionals, along with students should be able to make an informed decision about whether they study Functional Skills or GCSEs, then you can have your say by signing their petition today…
Here’s the link…it takes 2 minutes to complete:
Remove compulsory GCSE English and maths resits for 16-18 year old students
10,000 signature are required for the government to respond to this petition…at 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament!
