A LOCAL MP has called on the government to do more for students facing stress about exams.
Dearne MP John Healey received a letter from a Barnsley student concerned about recent changes to GCSEs and the impact it has had on students’ stress levels.
He said: “The stress of exams, combined with confusion about education reforms, means young people are feeling more pressure than ever.
“It is clear more needs to be done to deal with this rapidly rising crisis in our education system.”

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
