This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. These strikes are taking place in Scotland, and as education is a devolved matter this is something the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

You may be able to start a petition to the Scottish Parliament about this. You can contact the clerks of the Public Petitions Committee for advice about this by emailing petitions@scottish.parliament.uk.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
