Rejected petition Ban Fee-paying Private Education in the UK

More details

The government should end the two-tier educational system created by the existence of fee-paying independent schools, which grant unfair advantage to the children of the wealthy by making the quality of education a child can receive dependent on the wealth of their parents, and draw much-needed skilled teachers away from working in the public sector.
