Increase funding for learning support in schools

Closed 100 signatures

What the petition asks

Teachers and children need Teacher Assistants and Learning Support Assistants. We believe without vital help and support; teaching and education may suffer, which could have a detrimental effect on all children - not just the children with additional needs.
We call for the Government to increase school spending. We believe our Children are the future and are entitled to a good education catering for all! Without the vital support from TAs and LSAs, we fear our children's education will be affected! Children's needs are very diverse and we are becoming more aware of learning styles, neurodiverse needs which can be very broad depending on the individual. A teacher may struggle delivering an education with no support.
