Reduce University student fees for international students from £25770 to £9250

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Consider holding debates in Parliament between MPs and university students to discuss issues that affect them. It'll allow students to voice their opinions and concerns about tuition fees of £25770/year which are exorbitant, particularly due the pandemic and the absence of financial support.
University students are the soul of the nation, who will become better citizens for the world of tomorrow. Parliament debates involving MPs and students are crucial to give them the opportunity to raise the issues of concern in particular reducing University student fees & other matters impacting their lives including rents. The debates should include all international students who have been affected by the pandemic. Covid-19 has left the nation’s future economy/job market uncertain.
