What the petition asks

We are asking the Government to extend its gratitude to the key workers who have worked tirelessly to protect the nation to forgive/pay for all academic debt that has allowed them to do so.
The Covid-19 Pandemic has highlighted the importance and value of our key workers who have previously faced pay freezes and budget cuts. They have stepped up for our country, ensuring people across society are protected while risking the health of themselves and their families. As a nation we need to thank them.
