This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Allow education to end when you are 16 years old.
Rejected on
This is because children finish GCSE when they are 16 and do not need further education after 16; if so then university should be for FREE instead of spending £9000 a year for education as some families cannot afford these funds as they are extortionate
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We are not sure whether you would like the Government to increase the education leaving age above 16 or to fully fund post-16 education places.
You could start a new petition setting out clearly what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
