3 day weekend to prompt a healthier and better lifestyle.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government and Parliament to adjust the school routine and allow for a 3 day weekend which will be beneficial to the mental health of the nation. Changing the routine will allow for less stress build up and sufficient time for people to relax and take a breather.
I want the Government and Parliament to take this into consideration as it will not positively affect the mental health of the people of our current day but also the future. This has several beneficial factors such as improve productivity in other countries such as New Zealand where it has show a great economical boost and improved the work-life/ school-life balance. This allows further exploration of the local area, creating more income for the country as a whole also improving mental health.
