Rejected petition Discount international university Fees by 50%

Rejected on 13 January 2021

Discount International University fees for U. K residents Who don’t yet qualify for home fees by 50% and also to foreign students coming into the U. K.

Young students have had no face to face education, they had to pay for halls of residents while being in lockdown and in many cases with no access to reliable internet. They have also been locked down at home while still having to pay full tuition fees and board. And universities are using their own discretion to fleece Parents and students.

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.
