Rejected petition Start online classes for schools and colleges

Rejected on 10 November 2020

Start teaching online. We have seen that this has already been done with universites

Start online classes for schools and colleges due to the increase in COVID-19 cases. This will insure that students across England will be getting the vital education they are entitled to, and will help in stopping the spread of COVID-19. We have seen cases rise with schools and colleges staying open. Online classes for all students across England will:

1. Insure that no child will be missing out on vital education
2. Help in stopping the spread of Covid-19
3. Save the NHS
4. Most of all SAVE LIVES
