What the petition asks
Prioritise COVID vaccinations for teachers, TA’s and all ancillary support staff to keep schools open.
Child education in the school environment is essential for child mental heath, social interaction and development and academic wellbeing. This is especially true for primary school children who are in the most crucial developmental stages of life. To be able to provide the best quality of education schools need to be a safe place for children and teachers. Teaching staff provide high quality essential work for the future generation and should be prioritised in receiving the COVID vaccine.
