This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The payment of tuition fees is a matter for individual students and universities, and Student Finance England, not the Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petitions calling on the Government to reimburse students for costs for the current academic year, which you might like to sign.

Reimburse all students of this year’s fees due to strikes and COVID-19: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/302855
