What the petition asks
Schools aren’t letting us watch the World Cup England games, it only happens once every four yearsz
It’s one or two lessons every week.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about whether and what television to show children at school are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
