Closed petition Set a date for when non-practical university students can return to campus
Closed on
The government’s Covid-19 roadmap of easing lockdown set dates for when the likes of pubs, nightclubs and holiday lets can open again at the earliest. However, us students on non-practical courses have not been given such a date for when we can return. The government should add this to the roadmap.
The government confirmed students that require subject-specific facilities can return on 8th March. Students that don’t fit this criteria have been told that they will first review a return date “by the end of the Easter Holidays”. For a government that wants to prioritise education in the roadmap, this ruling is contradictory. Universities are safe; rather than schools where pupils are crammed into small rooms of 30, our class sizes are smaller, we wear face masks and we have to sit 2m apart.
