Gavin Williamson to resign after his total incompetence

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Over the course of the covid-19 pandemic our education secretary has failed the education sector at every turn. He has shown no compassion and has actively condemned those that work extremely hard to shape the young minds of the future.
The education sector deserves someone in this position that truly understands the difficulties faced by educators of all key stages.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't publish petitions about honours or appointments. That includes calling for Ministers to be sacked or to resign.

If you're concerned about a particular policy or decision that's the responsibility of Government or the House of Commons, you could sign or start a petition about that.
