Reduce student fees to match the online learning fees

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Students are paying £9250 per year to study at university. It costs less than half that to study the same course online. We would like the cost reduced as they are studying online due to covid
The government are the only bodies that can help with this. I have written to the universities with no response
It is not fair to the university students to go into huge debt for an 'online course' they do not get a choice in this. They are stuck in halls
