Lower overseas and local university fees

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

We are students encouraged at a young age to look no further than our own borders for further education due to high prices abroad. Being one of four children I have been told to consider not going to university at all on account of lack of payment provided by my parents.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining by how much you would like the Government to reduce general university fees, or how much of a reduction you would like in overseas university fees.

If you like, you could sign the petition below, which asks the Government to reduce overseas student fees, and to make university free for UK citizens:

Make University fee's cheaper for over seas students and free for UK citizens.
