Rejected petition Give university students a refund for the 2020/21 academic year

Give refunds or at least some form of discount from student fees. We have not received the level of education that we are paying for so deserve compensation, or at least some form of support from our government.

More details

During these tough times university students all across the country have felt left out, forgotten, and pushed aside. We feel as if the government haven’t done enough to help and support us. On top of dealing with a pandemic some students have had to stay away from home and their families and even spend Christmas by themselves. Also, online teaching is not enough for the price that we pay. £9250 to sit in a room and be expected to produce the same quality of work is unacceptable and impossible.
