Petition Background (Preamble):
I believe that the scrapping of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) in 2010 was a grave error.
EMA allowed students from some of the poorest families to access Further Education, and its abolition has had a hugely detrimental impact, hitting young Women and Black students particularly hard.
We believe that the government should reinstate EMA, which would require only a modest investment, to broaden access to education and to benefit the economy as a whole.

We believe that the government should reinstate EMA, which would require only a modest investment, to broaden access to education and to benefit the economy as a whole.
So by signing this petition you agree to the following:
We/I, the undersigned, call upon the government to bring back EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) so that the young generation of age 16+ can excel in their education and live better lives.
