What the petition asks
We believe the Government should pay children to attend school; they shouldn’t be able to use the money until they are 18. This could help give them a jumpstart in the real world. We feel this is necessary as school attendance is very important for a child’s future.
This could help future generations with housing, employment, life milestones, etc. We believe the cost of living is becoming higher every day and leaving many children with an uncertain future. Giving them money could have a significant impact by encouraging children to feel learning is truly worth it and could result in them having better job opportunities in the future.
