Start universities or reimburse tuition fees, mainly for international students

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

As online classes are not turning out to be as effective as in person teaching, we request the starting of on campus classes at least once or twice a week.

Considering the fact that schools have reopened, as international students have a big burden of expenses of living here and the tuition fees, we request you to start on campus classes for university as it is difficult for both the students as well as the teachers. The online classes are not worth the amount for which everybody is paying.

Further, if people can participate in public leisure activities why cannot universities be started.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Universities, not the Government or House of Commons, are responsible for how they deliver university courses.

We have published a number of petitions calling on the Government to require students to be refunded all or part of their tuition fees, because of the impact of Covid-19 on their courses, which you might like to sign:
