Rejected petition Introduce a holiday discount for school teaching staff who earn below £27,000 a year
Holidays during the summer holidays are near enough triple the price. This is why many parents take their children on holiday during term time whi h results in children missing school. Children of teaching staff miss out during the holidays and it is just so much more expensive to go away. School teaching staff and their families are penalised for working in education and miss out on opportunities that many get during term time.
More details
Reward teaching staff who do excellent jobs in education by getting holiday companies to keep their prices down for those who work full time in education. Holiday and rest time is good for mental health. Teaching staff deal with mentally challenging day to day work life and then get penalised in the summer holidays/half terms because they simply cant afford to go away as prices triple compared to term times. Why should they and their families miss out
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.
Holiday companies are private companies, and the sale of goods and services is a reserved matter under section C6 - Consumer Protection - Schedule 7A of the Government of Wales Act 2006.
