Nursery Schools in Tower Hamlets and across the country are under threat of closure due to government plans for the future funding of childcare. State nursery schools have very good outcomes with regard to closing the achievement gap and supporting children with special needs. State nursery schools are legally required to employ highly-qualified teaching staff, who are proven to give young children the best opportunities for academic achievement and enabling social mobility.

The University of Portsmouth informed its students via email on 7/11/2016 that both new and continuing students will be forced to pay £9,250 for the next academic year. Every year seems to hold another increase to our ever-growing piles of debt. Scrapping the maintenance grant in exchange for a bigger loan. Increasing the interest rate at which we pay them back. At the current rate tuition fees will surpass £10,000 within the next few years and I've had enough. I didn't sign up expecting my fees to increase during my time here and regardless of the fine print the University didn't communicate this information to me before starting my degree, nor did they before I started this academic year. Current students should not see a fee increase. As Faculty Representative for Technology I feel it is my duty to speak out against the Universities decision to raise fees and urge my colleagues to do the same. I've been a proud student at Portsmouth since 2014. It's ignited my passion for learning, helping others and you won't find somebody with more love for this city. It's hard to believe as somebody who left college with a BTEC in music and no sense of direction years ago I now stand to graduate at the end of my course with an integrated Masters in Mechanical Engineering. By letting these fees increase all we do is discourage people from making that leap. I've directed this petition to Paul Hayes, who spoke last year at the course rep conference, who assured me that our voice matters. This affects every student current and future and if we do not take a stand now, the problem will only grow.

Smaller schools are already experiencing redundancies and staffing restructures. Ultimately we will all suffer as this will have a direct impact on the education of those students - those who will govern us in our dotage. We want the government to recognise and protect the smaller schools and stop discriminating against their staff and students based largely on size and location. The already beleaguered rural economy cannot absorb any more financial hits nor does it need higher unemployment.

Because access to books matters. Reading changes lives!

It has been decided without consulting local people, to rename our Academy, "The Waid", when a new building opens next year. Local people are outraged. A former Deputy Rector, now aged 96, who help to educate three generations of students is deeply saddened. Whilst the future is important, we should always learn from the past. The Waid Academy has set and produced the highest standards of education. It has served the East Neuk for 130 years. It opened on 6th December1886 and was financed using a bequest left by Lt Andrew RN. It's purpose was to to provide secondary education for the East Neuk of Fife. Most of the people who still live in the area, plus other who left for pastures new were students there and received a top class education. "The Waid Academy" is their's, In these uncertain times,we all need something to cherish, our "Academy", fits the bill perfectly.

We the undersigned call on the Mayor of London to support us in the creation of a UK HIV/AIDS Memorial. HIV/AIDS disproportionally affected gay men but also new African communities; people with haemophilia; prisoners and injecting drug users. It influenced the whole nation by forcing us to confront deep rooted prejudices and ask questions about equality, difference, religion, morality and identity which hit at the very core of our values as a people and as a nation. There is currently no memorial to those who died in London in contrast to most other major cities affected including Amsterdam, Auckland, Barcelona, Berlin, Brighton, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, Dublin, Edinburgh, Hong Kong, Johannesburg, Kiev, LA, Madrid, Manchester, Melbourne, Montreal, Moscow, Munich, NYC, Paris, San Francisco, San Salvador, Sydney, Toronto, Vienna and Zurich. We want the Mayor of London to support our campaign for a national memorial in the city, by meeting with campaigners and helping in practical ways to find a location, funding and wider support. Why Now? 1) 2017 is the 50th Anniversary of the passing of the Sexual Offences Act 1967 which partly decriminalised sexual acts between two men in private and aged over 21. 2) 2016 is the 20th anniversary since the widespread use of the life-saving anti-retroviral therapy that arrested the number of deaths and literally, allowed for a new awakening. 3) New communities are examining and documenting their unique histories for future generations to make more sense of their own lives and to make secure as well as more grounded, their identities and narratives. The National AIDS Memorial in London aims: • To pay tribute to the men, women and children who died in the UK • To remember the struggles of those living with HIV as well as those who took on the challenge to treat, support and campaign for those who were affected by AIDS. • To acknowledge an almost forgotten period in British history • To form a linear historical path between the past, the present and the future for all the communities in the UK who bore the brunt of the epidemic. • To remember those worldwide who perished and who continue to live with HIV, the majority of whom still cannot access treatment This campaign is being led by GMFA (Gay Men Fighting AIDS), in conjunction with the UK HIV sector. @AidsMemoryUK; #AidsMemoryUK

It is important to empower young people who are at risk of developing mental health problems by providing knowledge, support, advice and guidance for them to seek help from the right services. It is important to remove inequality of opportunity and seek to enable sufferers to participate fully in society without fear of rejection.

Because this is a life skill which would enable them to live full lives post hearing loss. It could help to prevent social isolation and the onset of dementia.

These people have been found to have taken part in the cover-up of Hillsborough by the courts. Therefore they are no longer worthy to hold a fellowship. They have been found to be dishonest and untrustworthy. Characteristics that should not be seen to be rewarded with such honors. This is one more step for justice for the 96 and their families.

Recent research has established direct links between traffic derived air-pollution and impact on human health. Nobody benefits when the only air for breathing contains sooty particles -but young children are especially vulnerable. Its a fact that impaired lung-development, respiratory disease and reduced life expectancy are all a consequence of regular exposure to traffic fumes. Now its time to acurately measure just what is in the air around Welsh schools.

This has got to stop. It has been going on long enough. Teachers pay has barely increased in the last 8 years. There is no respect for the profession. We are constantly scrutinised, questioned, observed and criticised. The ones losing out are the children as tired, stressed teachers cannot teach to their potential and have no energy to plan and deliver "outstanding" lessons. Let's get together and make a change that is desperately needed.

This road needs a Lollipop Man as there are 3 schools and 1 nursery that use this road that is a lot of children who need protecting as it is a dangerous road
