Make travel industry provide discount to those that work in schools

What the petition asks
School staff are restricted to going on holiday during the school holidays, which works out sometimes nearly four times for expensive, meaning most teaching staff can not afford to have a holiday, which they all deserve
School staff could all be provided with a holiday discount card, which could make holidays more affordable.
This would in turn boost staff well-being and potentially an increase in people applying to work in schools.
Currently there are shortages of staff across all schools and this could change the way people think about working in a school as being restricted to school holidays to go away, put people off applying
