Reduce the tuition fees for the international students
On behalf of all the international students in UK, I demand to the authorities to reduce the tuition fees for the international students at this period of pandemic time & in post pandemic time.
For all the international students, the tuition fees for the courses differs than the UK/EU students. As an example, for a computer science course, UK/EU students have to pay GBP 9,250 but an international student have to pay around like GBP 14,000 in good ranked universities. At this pandemic time, everyone is going through financial crisis all over the world. So it's kind of difficult to maintain such fees in the current time. The situation will most likely be similar at the post pandemic period.
