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 only accept petitions which call for actions that are the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

It's not for the UK Government or Parliament to decide what's taught in other countries.

In any case, we're not exactly sure what you mean by "economic education against poverty". You could start a new petition with a clear action for the UK Government or Parliament. For example, you could start a new petition calling for a clear change to the National Curriculum.

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