Rejected petition Reduce tuition fees for International Students due to COVID-19

Rejected on 13 January 2021

International students have been entirely neglected this school year, and I urge the Government to reimburse tuition fees for International Students enrolled in UK Institutions.

International Students are paying c.£18,000 tuition fees this year alone whilst being taught online and/or are unable to return to their institutions’ campus. Their education has been severely neglected and I urge the government to rectify this.

Why was this petition rejected?

There’s already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Fees for international students are set by individual universities, not the Government or House of Commons, but you may wish to sign some of these petitions:
