An opportunity for young people to learn about taxes, mortgages, and how to vote

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

I found whilst in education there was not enough teaching about taxes, mortgages, and how to vote. I feel strongly that if young people were taught about this then we may be able to help them in their future and provide a better understanding of what it is like to be an adult.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you'd like these subjects to be taught in schools, or if you'd like the Government to make education on these subjects available to young people in a different way (such as online), you could start a petition calling for that.
