Allow practical University and College students to continue in person learning.

What the petition asks

We want the government to allow students studying practical subjects to head back into educational settings for in person learning. It is impossible to learn from home, we aren’t recovering our full training potential and it isn’t fair.
Allow us to head back to educational settings to learn practical subjects. Due to different student situations/ family lives, we each have very different home spaces. Some have a very small amount of space meaning it is impossible to partake in practical learning. As a third year dance student, we are unable to partake in technical training, choreography and professional classes which all require a large space. Please allow us back, with masks, social distancing and other safety measures.
