Remove / Drastically reduce university tuition fees payments due to covid-19

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Would like to see the tuition fees for active university students (including masters) removed or drastically reduced for the last year of teaching as there has not been face-2-face teaching or teaching as a suitable standard to validate a £9,000 per term payment. (On average)
University students pride themselves and put their money into a university which has a specialist subject or has the correct facilities to support an individuals growth into the world of work & further their aspirations in getting a high level degree to get specific roles. Due to the pandemic this quality of teaching has not been available and therefore needs to be removed of heavily subsidised to match the true value, quality & standard of teaching currently available (I.e: online).
