Ensure universities give real & deserved support to students if lecturers strike
University lecturers are planning to strike in opposition to proposals to being made to change their pension arrangements at a time when many students are planning to sit end of year exams and/or submit papers to obtain their degrees. Universities are planning to reduce support and dumb down exams.
Thousands of students are at risk of not receiving the much needed support from universities that they have paid for and deserve at a time when they have end of years examinations approaching, the results of which can have a detrimental impact of the degrees they aspire to.
In the Times on Saturday there was a small article dedicated to this entitled “Universities to ‘dumb down’ final exams amid walkouts”. This should receive far more attention and government intervention.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Support for students is the responsibility of universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
