What the petition asks
Going through school constantly worrying about my education, I tend to worry about the options I can take. Many people that I have asked agree that they would rather spend the time from their welsh GCSE in a subject that would benefit them more in the future.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
Education in Wales is the responsibility of the Welsh Government. That means that the UK Government and Parliament can't look into it.
