What the petition asks
The Government should implement reforms to model England’s education system on Finland’s, where they have some of the best grades and highest student success rates anywhere in the world, and teaching is a highly valued career.
Ways in which the Government could reform England’s education system to be more like Finland’s include: longer holidays and shorter school days, less standardises testing, more qualified teachers and less homework. These changes could be beneficial for students and teachers.
