Allow more school pupils to repeat an academic year due to COVID-19 lockdown.

Petition Details

Parents/guardians should have the right to have their child repeat an academic year.

Due to the COVID crises many children would benefit from the ability to repeat a year. Currently it’s unusual for a state school pupil to repeat an academic year & requires council approval. Review the paradigm.

Additional Information

Schooling provides essential learning and when schools close, children and youth are deprived opportunities for growth and development. The disadvantages are disproportionate for under-privileged learners... (Quote taken from the UNESCO website).

If repeating a year was made more accessible & became more common, the issues over the impact to self confidence would be reduced. Thousands of children’s future would be brighter. Especially those young in an academic year, vulnerable or with SEN.
