This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do to address the problem you identify.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do to increase the uptake of foreign languages in schools. For example, you could start a new petition asking to make specific languages compulsory in schools, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
