What the petition asks
Most students do not have job anymore due to the cuts leaving their pockets empty. Many of them do not have job/ capacity/knowledge to work from home.They can no longer afford to pay fees or maintain their living conditions. International students cant ask for help as the entire world suffers.
PostStudyWorkVisaNow campaign group is now calling on the UK Government and the Prime Minister to freeze all student fees including international student fees during the #COVID19 . The job cuts have had financial, mental and other effects on the students who are the future of tomorrow. We want the government to introduce a living cost so they can survive in this difficult period.
