This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We understand you wish schools and universities to be open, however schools are already open for pupils of critical workers, so it's not clear whether this addresses your request or whether you would like schools to be opened to all pupils.

You may wish to sign these petitions which call for related actions:
