This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

Religious education (RE) is not compulsory for all students to take at GCSE level.

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

Individual school boards decide if they want to make RE compulsory for their students at GCSE level.

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