Reimburse Uni student tuition fees for the duration lecturers go on strike

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

More than 1 million students in 65 universities across the UK will be affected by industrial action by members of the University and College Union (UCU), which begins on Thursday with 14 days of strikes spread over 4 weeks.

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.
