Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Call on the government to consider holding debates in Parliament between MPs and university international students to raise/discuss issues that affect them.
Parliamentary debates involving MPs and international students are crucial since they constitute a majority of the student population in the UK. Moving to different countries and adds higher costs of living costs, visa application etc.
The international students are one of the main source of income for any higher education system and the constant negligence of international students from the discourse showcases their role of as 'cash-cows' for any university's profit.
