Rejected petition Be able to wear traditional Muslim clothing in high schools during Ramadan

Allow students in Secondary schools to wear traditional Muslim clothing during Ramadan (non uniform)

More details

I feel like it would be a great opportunity for non Muslims to learn about Muslim culture and a way for Muslims to feel more at home and comfortable during Ramadan in school

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about when to allow students to wear particular clothing are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to stop schools from banning clothing associated with particular religions, if that's something you'd like to happen.

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