What the petition asks

Students should be reimbursed their tuition fees for learning time lost.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
The decision to refund student tuition fees would be responsibility of universities, rather than the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a petition asking the Government to make it law for universities to issue refunds when students don't receive lessons as a result of strikes.
