Allow a tuition fee refund for uni students

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to COVID and the pandemic university students have not had the best education provided by tutors or even universities. we are not getting the support that we need in order to develop our learning.
We want the parliament to allow students to receive a full or partial university tuition fees refund. It is not fair that we have to pay £9k+ for the education that we aren’t completely receiving. What we pay for is to be taught within the campus. Online learning is not the same as face to face learning. We are not provided with the support needed and tutors are marking us to the standard that was required whilst being taught face to face. Our learning has not developed and it’s hard to flourish
