Rejected petition Refund university students for inadequate teaching during the pandemic & strikes
Students will leave university with over £27,000 worth of debt to repay through their adult life. Teaching during the UCU strikes in 2018/19/20 and the COVID-19 pandemic has been inadequate and not sufficient for the cost of university. Students deserve a full or partial refund for this issue.
More details
Paying £27,000+ for a university degree demands a high quality of teaching and support throughout the degree. However, the disruption has meant the teaching has been inadequate and unsatisfactory and does not meet the expectations of a university teaching experience. Students deserve their debt to be removed completely or partially due to this inadequate teaching and to avoid them spiralling into debt following a poor university experience.
