Reduce University fees due to the Corona virus pandemic

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Reduce the University course fees / amount of money that students attending university during the pandemic are expected to pay back. Students aren’t receiving the same standard of education or support as students from previous years, so its unfair they’re expected to pay the same amount.
The SLC which is part of the UK Governments Department for Education provides the student loans, therefore they are the ones who can oversee & implement a change of decision.
