Lower the amount of years children spend in education

Petition Details

We want the amount of years children have to stay in a form of education in the UK to be lowered.

This is because children should be able to learn work earlier insead of "work experience" which is within the school week. We want children to be legally allowed to pursue their dreams earlier.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you would like the amount of years children are required to spend in school to be lowered, but we're not sure by how much.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
