Review the quality and cost of Higher Education during the pandemic.

What the petition asks

I would like the Government to review the standard and cost of university level education during the pandemic, and consider whether students should be entitled to refunds or reduced student loans, or other compensation, due to the impact of the pandemic on their education.
Many students feel they are not getting the course they signed up for, or value for money, due to the pandemic. As an example given from my own experience, I joined university in September of 2019. The RSC requires 400 hours of lab experience to accredit a degree. I have had around 100.
