What the petition asks
i want the government to open schools all year round giving pupils and staff an annual leave of 40 days to be taken as they see fit with the added exception of the 2 weeks they have at christmas.
The government should allow all schools to open all year without holidays giving pupils and staff the flexability to take holidays as they see fit giving parents better oppotunities to work more hours and stop paying such high prices for holidays in the summer and stop reciveing fines for spending time with there family
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The UK Government doesn't set school holiday dates. These are the responsibility of individual schools and local councils.
