Discount international university Fees by 50%

What the petition asks
Discount International University fees for U. K residents Who don’t yet qualify for home fees by 50% and also to foreign students coming into the U. K.
Young students have had no face to face education, they had to pay for halls of residents while being in lockdown and in many cases with no access to reliable internet. They have also been locked down at home while still having to pay full tuition fees and board. And universities are using their own discretion to fleece Parents and students.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
Fees for international students are set by individual universities, not the Government or House of Commons, but you may wish to sign some of these petitions:
