Reduce the university fees of students for the academic year 20/21 · petition

What the petition asks

Instead of letting universities decide whether the fee's should be reduced, the Government should require it as a result of mistreatment and circumstances. Students are living in isolated, under-supported conditions with no open facilities. So my question is, what are we paying for?

Since March 2020 universities were forced to close and online teaching was soon implemented in order to continue teaching. However, after hearing that A-levels & GCSE's were cancelled last year and are likely to be cancelled again, we feel deeply disappointed that the government have chosen not to acknowledge our situation this entire period. Online learning is disadvantageous for the majority of students, who simply cannot teach themselves to the same standard or cope with the mental impact.
