What the petition asks
Students need wifi to have access to online learning. Pay for the wifi services that are compulsory for students who are living and learning in student homes.
Students across the country are learning online within their homes, and for many, this is their only way of receiving teaching from their universities. It is not only unfair that students have to pay for the full price of tuition, but on top of this, we are having to pay for wifi costs to allow us access to online learning. If you insist on students paying the full price for our tuition, we should at the very least, have access to free wifi from within our own homes.
