This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government
Rejected petition Allow YouTube and Twitter for educational purposes within schools.
As of this time schools have banned the use of these sites under "Child Protection" laws. We live in an ever evolving age, where students needs and ways of learning are ever changing. Schools across the country need to be able to implement such sites for better learning.
More details
Our current education system is bland, boring and outdated. We need a 21st century upgrade. I recently read a report by Professor Nicole Buzzetto titled “Student Attitudes towards the Integration of YouTube in Online, Hybrid, And Web-Assisted Courses” this was clear evidence that something is missing from our education system. There are great channels out there such as channels such as Mr Bruff and Hegarty Maths but we cannot access them at a time we need them most; during school!

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
This is a choice for schools to make, not the Government or Parliament.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
