UK Students have not been given a fair chance. They have not been given adequate support off the government compared to GCSE/A-Level and BTEC Students.
Some Universities have had lecturers leave or be fired due to lack of funding and students - Leaving the students to fend for themselves and leaving them in the dark about their Exams/assessments
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
Decisions about university courses are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament. The Office for Students has published guidance for providers about quality and standards during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which sets out its expectations regarding teaching and assessments: https://www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/guidance-for-providers-about-quality-and-standards-during-coronavirus-pandemic/
If you have concerns about your university's arrangements for teaching and assessment you should raise these with your university or the Office for Students, which regulates the higher education sector.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
