Closed Implement support for university students during Covid-19

Closed on

Require universities to reimburse tuition fees as teaching is online only, reducing the quality of education received.

Make funding available for students who can’t afford living costs due to shutting down of businesses which employ students.

Introduce legislation allowing students to end tenancy agreements.

Many students are paying rent in areas close to university, paying £9,250 for remote learning and the jobs we got to be able to afford our rent (mostly in bars for student jobs) are increasingly non-existent as they close.

The Government has not provided help to let us out of tenancy agreements, reimbursement for the fortune we are paying for degrees that are now being taught remotely, or finance to aid in the loss of those jobs, which has left people unable to pay rent.
