This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The UK Government and Parliament can't make this compulsory across the UK. The UK Government and Parliament are only responsible for schools in England.

If you'd like this to happen, you could start a new petition asking for that.

If you'd like it to happen in the other nations of the UK, that would be the responsibility of the devolved governments.

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