Rejected petition Reimburse all university students affected by the effects of Covid-19

Rejected on 12 January 2021

Reimburse all students affected by the impact of Covid-19, namely lockdown procedures that have prohibited the quality of learning expected from a £9250 annual investment.

Thousands of students online have expressed how neglected they have felt since lockdown one in March 2020. Government guidelines have been consistently unclear as to where university students stand, and students have not been receiving the quality of learning promised before enrolling at their universities. Combined with support in place (or lack thereof, as vocalised by many) a degree today isn’t worth £9250, as standard, under normal circumstances - and these are not normal circumstances.
