Write off Med. and Nurse students LoansDoctors and Nurses are at the forefront treating those infected with the Coronavirus. They are risking their own health and well being, some sadly have already died due to the Coronavirus. They do not stop going to work, they do not stay in the safety of their homes. The Med. students accumulate substantial debts, due to the five arduous years spent at Med. school. They then spend their chosen profession caring for people, from cradle to grave. My son and many of his friends qualified as junior doctors last July; he has more friends qualifying this summer, they are young people who are risking their lives to save yours. Please show all the Doctors and Nurses how grateful we are, sign this petition to get their student loans cancelled.45 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Shaun Bevis

Allow student nurses to include their breaks in working hoursCurrently student midwives are allowed to include their breaks in their placement hours while nurses can not. This means that nurses then have to do 2 extra shifts for every 6 week placement on long days/nights. It should be equal across the board.14 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Siobhan Quayle

Bring back the nit nurseThis is important because I believe it is costing a fortune for low income families having to continuously treat their children’s hair, not quarterly, not monthly, not weekly but daily!!! My children come home daily with fresh eggs and lice because a nit nurse isn't available to help with this issue. Last year we spent £672.73 on treatment and this will continue because nothing is being done about the massive head lice problem in schools. My kids lose sleep over it, they have scabs on their head, they now do not want to go to school because of it and no direct action is being taken in schools. The school simply send out letters to all parents to say, “can you check your child’s hair” - this is not good enough. We have been trying the “handing out letters” thing for years now, with no progress being made! I’m sick of watching my kids suffer.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Tony Pickley

Hold a public meeting for Voluntary ConversionAs members of the local community surrounding Greenhill, we have concerns regarding the manner in which Greenhill Primary School is seeking to convert to an Academy and stop being a Local Authority maintained school. We are aware that anonymous surveys are available and one-to-one drop in sessions were available however we feel that this is an inadequate level of scrutiny for such a fundamental change in the management and governance of the school. Parents will inevitably have varying degrees of understanding about school governance, some may lack confidence to challenge the staff from the Trust and by meeting one-to-one with the Trust there is no opportunity for an opposing view to be presented.2 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Sam Turner

Make higher education free for allI received free education for 17 years from a poor country like India and I was able to complete my master's degree in social work without paying any tution fee at all. If a poor country like India can afford to educate its young people free , why the UK can't?1 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Joseph Mathew

Refund The StudentsEach week of teaching costs every student £450. Many were affected by the recent strike, which lasted eight days. The university profited from the strike, by not paying lecturers. The students have paid for a service they haven't received, they should be refunded. The students supported lecturers during the strike, lecturers now support your students.39 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Ali Bee

Raise Nursery Education Grant Hourly RateLast year as we started researching nurseries for our son,we realised without the Government scheme funding for 2-5 year old, it would have been pretty difficult for us to achieve a nursery place. We were very lucky to find a good nursery for our child, where the teachers have been amazing. While we all agree that this is a very beneficial Government incentive allowing all children access to nursery education , its not that clear cut. In reality the amount paid to nurseries for each individual child does not cover the cost of their yearly expenditure which means they are left with a deficit resulting in a loss, which the Government expects them to cover. For this election some parties have promised to increase school funding but this only applies to primary schools and high schools, yet nurseries are the foundation of our children's education and need more financial support. If Government agrees with our petition, It will allow good nurseries to stay open and raise standards. It will also give more opportunity for people to access free nursery places. It will enable nurseries to pay their staff a decent living wage. Many people are not aware that the NEG is a postcode lottery where boroughs across the country do not get the same hourly rate. But, If the Government continues to pay us such a low NEG amount even the nursery where our son goes will be forced to close, this is a nursery with a Excellent Ofsted. All Nursery school teachers deserve to be paid a decent living wage yet at present many are living below the breadline as nurseries are unable to pay. We hope you can support this petition in making a difference for our children and for all future children who have a right to High Quality Nursery education with high quality experienced staff who deserve to be paid a decent wage.5 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Parmeet Arora Bori
