Pass all first year university students due to the disruption of COVID-19.
Pass first year university students as their learning has been majorly affected by this pandemic.
As they’re has been a lack of support for university students in comparison to secondary schools & sixth forms, which have been reassured that their GCSE and A-Levels will be dealt with. On social media, university students have voiced their concerns in terms of support. Students taking their GCSE’s and A-Levels have more guidance in place for them as opposed to students who are paying for their education at a degree level.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about university teaching, assessments and exams are a matter for individual universities, and decisions about university admissions are a matter for individual universities and UCAS, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you have concerns about admissions you should raise these with UCAS, and if you have concerns about your university's arrangements for teaching and assessment you should raise these with your university or the Office for Students, which regulates the higher education sector.
We understand that the current situation is stressful for many people, including students. Student Minds, a mental health charity for students, is collating guidance and developing resources to support students experiencing stress as a result of the current situation, which you may find useful: www.studentminds.org.uk/coronavirus.html
