Reduce the international student tuition fees in the UK by at least 20%

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Reduce the international student tuition fees in the UK by at least 20% for this current academic year. International students are incurring high costs of tuition fees despite other costs of living during this pandemic.
As non-citizens, international students do not benefit from welfare opportunities. Hence, they are left to fend for themselves during this pandemic. There has been little consideration given to the experiences of foreign students during this pandemic. We can not spend so much to receive so little
