Rejected petition: Change the education system to suit differing abilities of UK children.
Rejected on
The current education system uses a 'same mould' approach to educate our children as if we are to all perform the same role in society. We do not all possess the same interests or abilities, as a result the system is failing those that do not want to conform to the government's archaic methods.
A child who is less academic but possesses manual dexterity and an interest in a particular subject like mechanics for example, is not catered for in a system that forces them to learn algebra or the works of Shakespeare. There should either be schools that cater for different types of education or a more flexible curriculum that allows better choices for children to choose their path based upon ability, rather than constantly forcing a particular subject upon a child that will not benefit them.
