Petition · past parliament

To reverse its decision on forcing schools to become academies.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

I am a teacher and my colleagues and I love our students, we try our hardest to do the very best for them.The Tories are selling out the education system. All the schools title deeds are disappearing one by one with each academy conversion into the hands of political donors.
No more playing fields, school buildings turned into flats, they’ll be nothing left for teachers to defend. The Orwellian dream the Tories seem to have of ruling over uneducated masses stripped of knowledge and the ability to fight an ever increasingly complex system draws nearer.
