Rejected petition Open schools and universities

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.

We understand you wish schools and universities to be open, however schools are already open for pupils of critical workers, so it's not clear whether this addresses your request or whether you would like schools to be opened to all pupils.
