Verification Help & Guidance

Hi everyone,

Basically, this has been really good in the fact of im from the Uk and my school doesnt normally turn up on the school discount or freebie things but for github it does. So i went to apply for it and went through the whole process and my account is normally on my personal email but i even opened a new one on my school email for it to work. It connected my school and all that automatically and got my location so I submitted my first application and it got rejected. I went and completed the steps it said I hadn't done so i went back and applied again and low and behold i got rejected again. So then I went and did the new stuff it said I needed to complete and then i submitted another application. By this point I had filled in all the billing information, profile information, enabled 2FA and all that. And again the next time declined as i didnt include my school name in the picture as it was just one of my timetable but it then said that I could include multiple pictures so i opened up a document put all my pictures of my timetable, student portal, student ID i use to get into school, and online student ID, and i screenshot all of them in one photo and use that as my next application. After this final one it says i was somehow rejected again even though i had completed all the needed criteria it gave me and just said "We were unfortunately not able to verify your academic status. Please address the following issues and apply again." But the thing is is that under that it didnt give me any things to change, I had literally everything it needed and it still rejected me and theres nothing I can change to fix it. So please help me fix this.

Didn't they close down education pack temporarily like they do every year? It's because its the end of the academic year soon.
