Rejected petition Consider extra curricular activities as education

How do you think lifeguards, swimming coaches, horse riding instructors, music/ PE/ dance teachers, performers form a career?!
There would be no chance of these careers without the commitment and hard work that goes in outside of school hours!!

More details

Consider these activities ‘education’ and value them in the same way as you do schools. Keep dance/ swimming/ theatre classes etc running in the same way you do schools during the pandemic.
