What the petition asks
Look into all children and students repeating a year of school. If every child has to do it then it will work
Covid 19 has had a massive impact on our children’s education they have missed out on so much due to this. If every child even nursery children was to repeat a year and school enrolment now changed to age 6 this would allow every pupil a chance to catch up. I fear for our children academically
