Rejected petition AQE LTD should refund the full entrance fee!

I would like the government to get involved in helping to receive a refund for thousands of people who have paid £55 for their children to enter the AQE entrance exams in Northern Ireland. Currently AQE have said they will refund £20 but keep the other £35 even though the test has been cancelled.

More details

Due to public health advise the tests have been cancelled this is beyond the parents control and doesn't seem fair that they will not be refunded the full fee considering we are in the middle of a global pandemic.

Why was this petition rejected?

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

As education policy is devolved, entrance exams in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.

If you have not already done so, you may wish to contact your MLA and ask them to act on your behalf. You can find your MLA's contact details here: http://aims.niassembly.gov.uk/mlas/locatemla.aspx.

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