Rejected petition Intervene to protect education in Conwy.

School staff have been told to prepare for staff reductions in Conwy County Borough. This is due to a cut in funding of 10% and this means that schools are unable to afford to pay their teachers and other staff.

More details

A loss of teachers and teaching assistants will result in much larger class sizes - which will mean pupils will not be able to receive the one-on-one support that many of them need and will inevitably lead to more pupil anxiety and poor well-being. It could also mean that schools have to cut subjects, thus depriving our young people of their future life chances and opportunities. If you care about the education of our young people in Conwy, please sign this petition and tell the Welsh Government that they need to intervene urgently to protect teachers' jobs, young people's education and Conwy's schools.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue, or if the Petitions Committee has considered one in the last year.

The Petitions Committee is already considering a petition on this issue:
P-06-1358 Review the inadequate funding for Schools in Wales
https://business.senedd.wales/mgIssueHistoryHome.aspx?IId=41888

Details of the Committee’s previous consideration of this issue can be found here:

https://business.senedd.wales/ieIssueDetails.aspx?IId=41888&Opt=3

Therefore, given that the Committee is already considering a petition regarding inadequate funding for schools in Wales, have already taken evidence from Headteachers and School Governors and raised the matter for the attention of other Senedd Committees, it is unable to consider a petition calling for something similar. However, you can use Conwy Council's petition's process to raise issue specific to your local Council, whilst following the relevant petition being considered by the Petitions Committee.
