Bring Back EMA
I believe that the scrapping of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in 2010 was a grave error. EMA allowed students from some of the poorest families to access Further Education, and its abolition has had a hugely detrimental impact, hitting students particularly hard. We believe that the government should reinstate EMA, which would require only a modest investment, to broaden access to education and to benefit the economy as a whole.
By signing this petition you agree to the following:
I, the undersigned, call upon the government to bring back EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) so that the young generation of age 16+ can excel in their education and live better lives.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
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.
