Rejected petition REOPEN SCHOOLS. Education is key to our children's future and equality.

Further closures and subsequent dumbing down of our education system is a betrayal, and a wholly selfish act, of this low risk group.

Resources should be prioritised to enable teacher vaccination and to reinstate education quality.

More details

School children present very little risk to the wider community in terms of covid transmission.

Schools provide far more than an academic education. They are a major framework for their emotional and social development too.

Prolonged withdrawal of school will have a detrimental long term effect that will impact our social, economic, and medical wellbeing for years to come.

They are the ones that will have to repay this covid debt AND perform on a post-Brexit world stage. Reopen schools.
