Rejected petition Free University tuition fees paid for by the government for all U.K. Citizens
Rejected on
University tuition fees cost £27,000 pounds over the course of three years for each student. Students should not be penalised with debt for continuing their education, this hinders people from going to university therefore the government allows people to miss out on studying at a higher level.
Parliament pays for Scotlands university students tuition fees.
