Remove university fees entirely

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Young people across the country have to pay ridiculous amounts of money (£36,000) just to continue their education which is a human right. This has meant that many people decide not to go to university and follow their dreams and many more are forced to live with debt for years
Article 26 of the universal declaration of human rights is the right to education. They entire principal of paying for university level education is contradictory to this and should hence be removed
