Petition

The UK education system must improve to better support children.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

I want the Government and Parliament to review the UK school education system. Many children, in primary and secondary schools, are not receiving enough support from teachers. Greater focus is needed on children’s learning, wellbeing, and especially their mental health
Over 1 million under-18s in England were in contact with NHS secondary mental health services in 2024-25 — more than double compared with 2020. I think this says more than anything.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

You could try and start a new petition setting out more clearly what they would like the review to consider.
