Education staff want Gavin Williamson’s resignation.
Rejected

What the petition asks
Replace Gavin Williamson and find a supportive Education Minister.
Gavin Williamson has continuously belittled education staff and in particular teachers. We would like a supportive person who understands education and what teachers do. After Michael Gove, Justine Greening and now Gavin Williamson, he is now making teachers feel they are worth nothing and no one should be made to feel like that. We teach children to be accepting and supportive. What is our Education Minister teaching them?
