Ensure teachers teach all students who are forced to self-isolate from COVID-19.
1. Ensure teachers undertake online teaching training courses;
2. Ensure that teachers have the necessary equipment to simultaneously teach students in the physical classroom and those at home;
3. Mandate that teachers teach and provide feedback to students and parents of progress.
For the past 6 months, instead of teaching, many schools have defined 'success' as 'providing homework online for students to self-learn'. This is simply not teaching and if left un-checked will uncessarily cause serious long-term damage to our children's futures.
Although remote teaching may not be the preferred course of engagement, academia is thankfully a model (particularly for secondary school students), that works online.
Fact, no business or public entity has a 'play book' on how to best navigate during these difficult times. However, no-action by some schools to provide ongoing virtual teaching for our students at home is simply not something we can blame on COVID. It very simply, a lack of resources or an unwillingness to change, both of which can and must be fixed.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions that make requests that are the direct responsibility of the UK Government or House of Commons, and a number of the requests you make, around training and how teachers provided feedback to students, would be a matter for individual schools.
