Education staff want Gavin Williamson’s resignation.

Rejected 10 signatures

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?

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.
