{"links":{"self":"https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/772309.json"},"data":{"type":"petition","id":772309,"attributes":{"action":"4 Day School Week for all Scondary Schools in the UK","background":"Decrease the amount of school days for secondary schools across the UK from 5 days a week to 4 days a week. This will lengthen the 4 days from 6 hours to 6 and a half hours which will reach the government regulations and will make up for a third of the day off and will give students 3 days to rest.","additional_details":"This petition proposes four-day secondary school week of 6 hours and 30 minutes per day to combat student burnout and stress by providing a consistent three-day weekend. The total weekly school time would drop from the current 32.5-hour expectation down to 26 hours. This will increase engagement in learning and boost morale for students.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":10,"created_at":"2026-06-10T13:50:10.643Z","updated_at":"2026-07-14T12:54:04.453Z","rejected_at":"2026-07-14T12:53:58.788Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-25T13:29:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign the following petition, which calls for similar action:\r\n\r\nReduce school to 4 days a week and have optional extra activities\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/756710"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
