Petition Provide free school transport for all pupils
We believe that every child deserves equal access to education, regardless of their family's financial situation, how far from school they live, or whether they choose a Welsh medium or faith school. By eliminating transportation costs, we can ensure that all students have the opportunity to thrive academically. Support our petition to call on the Welsh Government to prioritize equitable access to education for every child in Wales. Together, let's build a brighter future for our students!

Access to education is a fundamental right in Wales. However, the cost of school transport presents a significant barrier for many families. Varying expenses strain budgets, especially for low-income households. This financial burden hampers students' access to education, leading to increased absenteeism and perpetuating inequalities. Free school transport would alleviate this burden, ensuring equal access to education for all students. It would enhance attendance, engagement, and academic achievement while promoting sustainable practices. We urge the Welsh government to prioritize this initiative for a fairer and more inclusive education system.
