Make It A Legal Requirement For Remote Schooling in 30°+ Heat
Rejected

What the petition asks
My petition is about the safety of children in schools in extreme and humid temperatures.
Many children faint and feel unwell during school when the temperature is unbearable.
The school uniform is dark coloured and traps the heat under the clothing causing excessive sweating.
We want it better.
