What the petition asks
Would like Rishi Sunak to reconsider his choices and what a massive affect it will have on the current generation as many online on social media are disagreeing, Rishi Sunak may seek major backlash.
Maths isn’t for everyone, and shouldn’t be compulsory when students can see their future without learning 2 extra years of maths since we have been learning basic maths since beginning of primary school, and would like Rishi Sunak to look at the comments on social media and how many disagree.
