Petition Action

Give an option to school and university students to complete their course online

Petition Details

Although there is a national lockdown and universities and schools remain open, I and numerous others believe that there should be an available option for students to complete their course online if for example there are vulnerable people at their home, or they are more at risk

Additional Information

This will slow the spread of covid cases as well, but only for people who actually would prefer online schooling. Covid cases have shot up ever since schools and universities are open. It seems that the government is very eager to keep the schools open, and this seems like a compromise that will be effective and pleasing for everyone.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

You may wish to sign the following petition calling on the Government to require schools to support home learning:

Require schools to support home learning during Covid-19 outbreak: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/334065

Universities are independent institutions so deciding how to deliver university courses is a matter for individual universities, not the Government or House of Commons. The Government could require university campuses to close as part of current Covid-19 restrictions. If you would like this to happen you might like to sign the following petition:
