Rejected petition Waive all student nurse tuition-loans. Students are helping during this Covid-19

Nursing students are helping fight the Covid-19 along side nurses and l don’t think it’s fair to ask them to pay to risk their life while theyre helping the whole nation combat the Coronavirus. The parliament should waive all tuition fees for current nursing students working in the NHS.

More details

The government should take this opportunity to incentive our nursing student who are helping during this Covid-19 pandemic. They should be given help with they studied and financial situations. It is unprecedented times and nursing students should not be left with hefty bills for doing their best to help the nation during this pandemic. I urge the government to reconsider waiving all tuition fees for our current nursing student as thank you for their job in the NHS in fighting the Covid -19.
