Continuous Assessment

Scrap exams and prelims this year, with a focus on continual assessment. The pressure of having to study for exams is too much for our young people alongside the uncertainty of COVID-19 and the ever changing restrictions.

The young people have missed 6 months of social interaction. Trying to deal.with the lockdown and being back at school straight into exam mode is causing extreme anxiety and stress. Education is operating as if nothing since March has happened or affected them. Home learning isn't easy or possible for those having to self isolate. The pressure of having to study for exams is too much for our young people and we are create a mental health time bomb.
