Advocate for Kurdish language lessons in UK schools for inclusivity.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Petition for the Government's endorsement of Kurdish language lessons in UK schools to address the linguistic and cultural requirements of Kurdish students, fostering inclusivity and embracing diversity.

We seek Government endorsement to introduce Kurdish language lessons in UK schools to honor cultural diversity, empower linguistic minorities, and foster social cohesion. Incorporating Kurdish education aligns with principles of inclusivity and cultural preservation, enriching the educational experience for all students while promoting understanding and respect for diverse 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 what languages to teach are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could contact your local school or council to ask them to consider teaching Kurdish in your area.
