Another petition:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to allow home educating families to apply for home access laptop grants.
At the moment home-educating families are purposely excluded from the Home Access free laptop scheme for families on low incomes in England. We believe this to be discriminatory against families who strive to bring a nurturing and personal education to their children and at their own cost. Ed Balls said that children without access to the Internet at home are "...at a disadvantage to their peers..." yet is utterly at home leaving a tiny section of society in that very place: at a disadvantage to everyone else.
Please make the laptops available to home-educated children too. The current criteria is negligent and exclusive. More here.
