HELP OVERSEAS STUDENTS WITH THERE UNIVERSITY FEES THIS YEAR DUE TO covid-19 · petition

What the petition asks

We would like the UK Government, MPs and Lords in the parliament to consider multiple hardships faces by International students who are living, studying and working in the UK during the Coronavirus pandemic and help us in this dire situation as much as possible.

There is a larger population of Overseas students living here in the UK who pay higher tuition fees > UK residents. Due to the pandemic situation, all of us are in a critical situation as we face huge financial difficulties both here and back homes. Some of us now been forced to stay at our lodges/hostels, risk of been evicted, shortage of foods and no 20Hrs income to cover essentials etc. In this dire event, Universities are asking to pay the fees for the next enrollment?
