Make Personal Development Sessions in School Optional instead of Mandatory
This allows Students to use this time to study for lessons and focus on their GCSEs or A-levels. This would make for a higher average grade nationally as students have more time to support themselves in their studies.
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether to require students to take personal development sessions are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
