Petition Create council tax exemptions and railway discounts for part-time students

Currently only full-time students can benefit from council tax exemptions and there is not a railcard for part-time students, excluding many part-time students who face the same costs (over a longer time period) and mature students from returning to education. This is not fair.

More details

Many students in further/higher education choose part-time because they are also working to pay tuition fees and living costs, or have childcare costs and responsibilities, or are a carer. Creating council tax exemptions and railway discounts for part-time students would help support these people.
