Rejected petition Reverse Plans to Turn ALL UK Schools into "Academies"

The government are seeking to privatise education by taking out of the hands of Local Authorities and into the care of private charities, assisted by businesses. This is no way to treat our children. But most importantly they have no mandate to do so. This drastic step was not in their manifesto.
