Lower University Tuition Fees during Covid-19 restrictions
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Currently, yearly University Tuition fees for British students excels £9,000. Due to Covid-19 restrictions the majority of courses have been altered, leaving students unable to access facilities and expect to receive a reduced quality of learning.
In short, this is unfair and goes against a basic student right. Students will be left with a future debt for courses they won't receive the highest quality in. For example, facilities with reduced accessibility, a decrease in in-person teaching, the altering of examinations and assessments, and practical courses becoming essay-based. This is not what has been advertised to students.
