Missing the Mark: young people speak out on exam stress and pressure
Exams are putting unbearable pressure on young people – and it's time for change.
In this episode of What’s On YoungMinds?, we hear from three powerful voices: YoungMinds activists Matty and Dinah, and YoungMinds Ambassador Alfie Watts – known for his appearance on BBC's Race Across the World. They open up about the intense stress caused by SATs, GCSEs and A-levels, and how the current system is failing students' mental health.
This conversation is part of our Missing the Mark campaign, where we’re calling on the government to scrap SATs and reform GCSEs and A-levels to make assessments fairer, kinder, and more supportive of young people’s wellbeing.
