Many young people are extremely worried about next year’s exams. One young constituent recently told me:

“I have never felt less confident in my ability to take part in next year’s exams—if there even is that opportunity—and I’m sure many others are also struggling. I ask for 2022 GCSE exams to be simpler, easier and adapted to our lack of necessary education, out of compassion.”

What does the Minister say to them? When will schools get certainty about changes to next year’s exams and assessments?
