I don't think I've heard enough yet to fully form an opinion. It sounds like a lot of exams are simply being moved to the morning of the day they'd be on anyway. If we're talking about moving exams earlier by weeks though, doesn't that negatively affect everyone? It gives you less time to learn the curriculum and prepare.
I just think it's stupid. No discussion about the asinine practices that are the real cause of these kids' suffering education, no, everyone else has to move to accommodate it.
And side-note as well, I'm getting sick of hearing this selective "Britain is a Christian country" argument, that people who never go to church bring out when Islam hits the news. We're a country which has historically had a Christian majority, we are not a Christian country anymore in the 21st Century. Stop that.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
