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.
