Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament

Rejected petition Allow taekwondo as a single sport for gcse pe.

For gcse pe you can not choose taekwondo as a single sport - this should be changed so that children have that option.

More details

I think taekwondo is a very skilled sport and is physically demanding, the olympics inspired people to start the sport (such as me) but i have jus found out i can not be assessed using taewondo for my gcse pe. I would really like to think that this can be changed.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The decisions about which sports to offer during P.E. classes in school is a matter for individual schools, and not for the Government or Parliament to decide.

In any case we do not accept petitions that do not include a full name. If you don't feel comfortable using your name you could get someone you know to start the petition for you.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
