Give teachers and other term time workers concessions on holidays abroad

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

As a teaching assistant with three children of my own, we struggle to go abroad as the prices during school holiday times increase dramatically. You can remove your children from school for a period of time however teachers, support staff and other term time workers can not do this.

Why it was rejected

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

This is the responsibility of travel companies, not the Government or Parliament.

If you would like Parliament to legislate on this matter, there is another petition on this subject which you might like to sign.

Stop the travel companies charging high prices for school holiday weeks.
