Rejected petition Ban school uniform in all High School in Fife

Uniform is a basic part in our everyday lives but when at Secondary school there are more important things. Being stopped by Depute Rectors for wearing skinny jeans or a laced black jumper instead of them being in classes educated. Paying for uniform is an extra cost to parents too!

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about whether or not to require pupils to wear a uniform are the responsibility of individual schools and their governing bodies.

In any case, education in Scotland is the responsibility of the Scottish Government, not the UK Government and Parliament. That means that we can't accept petitions about education issues in Scotland.

You could raise this issue with Fife Council:

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