Rejected petition Increase the budget for school funding
The budget for schools should be increased. The Government are raising the budget by 7.1 billion by 2022 but that isn't enough; to get sufficient funding for schools the budget must be raised to at least 12 billion.
More details
Since 2010, government school funding has been cut by £12bn, only now the government are trying to reverse them. However, they are only increasing it by £7.1bn. This petition is to show support from the general public to get the £12bn for schools.
