Keep holidays the same price all year to keep children in education at all times

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Allow education staff to have holidays at off peak charges, keep coats down. This will also mean students stay in school at all times instead of paying fines that work out cheaper than going away peak season. Parents would rather pay the fine and go away when holidays are cheaper as they save £1000s
1 to keep children in education and from missing out on parts of the curriculum
2 to allow teachers to go on holiday and pay less than they do now. £7500 to take my family abroad, 2 adults 4 children. I can't afford this so in theory they are also missing out on sampling new cultures.

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 prices for holidays are a matter for travel agents, airlines and other businesses, not the UK Government or Parliament.
