This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition A campaign to get comedy into the classroom.
Now, more than ever, after all that our kids have been through this last year, it’s time for children to benefit from comedy being on the school agenda. Just for thirty minutes every week.
More details
Children who master comedy master EVERYTHING.
Literary, conversational, peer-group and connection skills; resilience, self-belief and confidence building; improvements in task completion, emotional awareness and response. When it comes to life-skills, comedy has it all. And the medical science stuff too. Cardio and immunity boosted; stress and anxiety hormones reduced. Facts!
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're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure if you'd like comedy to be taught in schools or to be provided for children to see.
You could start a new petition calling for comedy to be added to the National Curriculum, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
