Refund university fees while face to face learning is cancelled.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Refund fees for students who have missed a significant amount of learning from academic years 19/20 and 20/21. There has been little to no support, and a untold amount of pressure and stress on students.
Consider the effects that the lockdowns are causing not only on the learning but the effect this will have on students knowledge and application long term. In addition the mental effect this is having on the students, not having the ability to be in a learning environment with correct resources, but knowing they are being put in debt for a degree they’re not being taught.
