Petition Wipe Student Debts for Tuition Fees for University Students Affect by Covid
The Government must nullify the tuition debt of all students affected by the pandemic/lockdowns during 2020-2021 and 2021-2022. This will allow affected students to be relieved of a burden that was unfairly placed on them, and to focus on their careers without worry.

Higher Education during these times have not been up to scratch. With the 2020-2021 educational year being fully online for most and with some universities either keeping that rule or modifying it slightly (e.g. 25% online) for the 2021-2022 year, It is unacceptable for students to be expected to pay back for an education that was drastically affected by this crisis. Combined with extenuating circumstances and no extra-curricular activities we believe the value of our education has plummeted.
