Automatic 2:1 university grade after loosing valuable time from the strike

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Students pay £9250, per year to allow them self’s to be educated in a chosen subject. Without university students paying this money there would be a lack of professional people such as emergency services etc. With this strike it looses valuable time to achieve our grades for our degree.
There are 14 days in total which are a part of university striking, which looses valuable lecture time for students who pay there money to study to a high standard in further education.
As this is the case we agree the lectures missed by this strike should automatically allow a 2:1 grade in compensation of limited lecture time.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This would be the responsibility of universities, rather than the UK Government or Parliament.
