This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Decisions about how to run classes are a matter for individual educational institutions.

We have published two petitions calling for the Government to close educational institutions.

One petition calls for schools/colleges to be closed for an appropriate amount of time: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300403

One petition calls for universities to be closed for an appropriate amount of time: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300628
