This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you are concerned about the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on education, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We could accept petitions calling on the Government to offer or require school children resit the current academic year, if that is what you want to happen. We could also accept a petition calling on the UK Government to reimburse tuition fees or provide funding for additional education for university students whose studies were affected by Covid-19.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
