Increase the budget for school funding

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The budget for schools should be increased. The Government are raising the budget by 7.1 billion by 2022 but that isn't enough; to get sufficient funding for schools the budget must be raised to at least 12 billion.

Since 2010, government school funding has been cut by £12bn, only now the government are trying to reverse them. However, they are only increasing it by £7.1bn. This petition is to show support from the general public to get the £12bn for schools.
