Closed Allow children to retake the school year to catch-up

Closed on

Allow children a right to the education they have missed, let them stay in their current year group, stop exams and just let them learn and regain their confidence and mental health.

Children have suffered more than any adult, their worlds have been turned upside down. Parents are not teachers and are not qualified to educate at any age level. Children need routine, constructive, positive education with professionals. They deserve the time to catchup and regain confidence. Children are the future of the country and unless we allow them the time to catchup with their education we are doing them a disservice.
