Rejected petition Reduce the Amount of Holiday Time that Students Receive
More details
Having 13 weeks of holiday time in a year is far too much, this should be reduced to roughly 7 weeks. The increase in the amount of time that people spend in education will greatly increase their chances of passing their exams. With only 74% of students obtaining 5 A*-C at GCSE, the increased amount of time in school will hopefully lead to an increase in the pass rate.
