Set policy that exam boards should give students notice of GCSE exam topics
I want the government to allow pupils to know what topics (not questions) will come up on GSCE exams for each subject to save them from stress and feeling like they cannot achieve the grade they want to achieve. If this happens it would allow students to focus on understanding rather than guessing.

Stop GCSE exams
We call on the Government to scrap GCSE exams and replace them with fairer continuous assessments, coursework, and smaller tests. We think this would reduce stress, improve mental health, and better prepare students for future education.
Review the amount of written exams for GCSEs
We want the Government to consider reducing the amount of written exams a student should have to take during GCSEs
Introduce Law as a GCSE subject
Introduce GCSE Law to the national education curriculum. I feel the current curriculum can sometimes fail to inspire and motivate students.
Abolish all written/timed exams in every GCSE/A-Level & make them practical
Require DfE & Ofqual to reform every GCSE, A-Level & BTEC subject to 100% practical/portfolio/applied assessment, 0% written/theory, no exams. Grant all BTEC routes equal status in Progress 8/Attainment 8 and create dual academic/vocational pathways in every subject from 14–19 for inclusion.
Fund free access for all home educated children to GCSE examinations
Fund free access for all home educated children to GCSE examinations. Access should be allowed through a private exam centre or other education setting. The cost should fall to government, not on the parents or carers.
