What the petition asks
Frankly, university students aren’t getting the education they were promised when they chose to go to university through such a tough year, as well as those in 2nd or 3rd years who have had their learning environment completely changed.
We need change and we need a reduction in the fees that aren’t justified. The definition of tuition fees, as seen on the UCAS website, is: “Tuition fees are charged by universities and colleges to cover key elements of your course and academic life, as well as core services related to students’ wellbeing and experience on campus”. No one can say that this definition is being met this year.
