P-06-1168 Consider re-doing this current academic year for students across wales
This
petition was submitted by Hayley Whittington-Pike, having collected a total of
184 signatures.
Text of Petition:
I implore the government
to consider re-doing this academic year, should school closures become part of
the “fire break” restrictions. It isn’t fair to expect the children to catch up
with last years missed education, whilst having a stop/start academic year this
year. Our children should not be prevented from achieving their full potential,
and nor should we as parents be accepting that they just - get by. Not all
children have the same luxuries of parents at home to help/access to resources.
