Rejected petition Keep schools open through any future lockdowns

Make sure the government doesn’t give in to pressure to shut the schools. Keep them open, children need their education. Schools should only be shut as a last resort if there are active cases or areas that have a high infection rate.

More details

Children have missed out on enough of their education already. School is crucial for not only their education but their mental health.
