CHANGE THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

The Current Secondary education system is laying the foundations for our generations failure. The education system is deeply flawed.
The National Curriculum that UK schools follow was decided by politicians and civil servants. Why should they decide we study?
Is it our futures or is it theirs?

The main reasons of why it should be changed is because:

1) Secondary school especially during GCSE years takes a mental and physical toll on students
2)Teachers are also affected mentally and physically due to secondary school
3) Essential life skills aren't covered in the national curriculum so many students that leave school won't know how to buy a house and other essential life skills

The national curriculum as it is right now contains major flaws which act as catalysts for the problems that are put upon teachers and students alike.

Why it was rejected

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

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand you'd like changes to the national curriculum, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like the Government or Parliament or parliament to make.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
