Rejected petition eid and diwali holidays

More details

i believe that we should have the right to be able to take at least a week off eid and diwali festivals from work and school

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Local faith leaders can help schools and local councils establish which days parents and children are expected to take off work and school in order to mark a religious festival and which occasions parents and children should mark without taking time off

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