Rejected petition reduce the amount of weeks schools close each year
More details
Schools close for 12 or more weeks per year, and have done so for many years - why is this, does anyone really know?. Yet most working parents are lucky to have 5 or 6 weeks off per year.
The government needs to cut the weeks schools close to no more than 7 per week.
