P-05-1148 Fully open schools for all ages in Wales as the next step from 15th March

This petition was submitted by Edina Potts-Klement, having collected a total of 2,094 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Children have had a disrupted education for nearly a year. They haven't been to school since before Christmas. Strain on their mental health is culminating.

They were promised to be a priority yet now when covid cases are falling we see the opening of nonessential shops being considered before all children returning to school.

Some are now at breaking point and cannot face another 6 weeks home learning without hope/date for returning.

Don't let the Welsh children down! Open all school years.

Additional Information:

Many children are suffering not only educationally but emotionally as well. Yet it looks like this is being disregarded and the detrimental effects that school closures have on children are being ignored.
