Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. These strikes are taking place in Scotland, and as education is a devolved matter this is something the Scottish Government is responsible for. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.

You may be able to start a petition to the Scottish Parliament about this. You can contact the clerks of the Public Petitions Committee for advice about this by emailing [email protected].
