Closed Create a national online school for pupils unable to attend school premises

Closed on

When a medical professional deems it detrimental to a young person's mental or physical health to physically attend school premises they should have access to a national online school. Medical professionals should be able to refer pupils to the online school.

Even though current legislation allows for home schooling some parents are still being prosecuted and fined when their child cannot attend the physical school due, to their mental or physical health.

Modern technology allows for a high standard of remote education, that can ensure students who are unable to physically attend school receive the education they need.
