Support for international students throughout COVID-19
International students must be supported throughout COVID-19, and we believe that if a student has had their income significantly affected by this crisis, they should have access to the same government supplements.
1)Universities must reduce international student fees by 20% for all units which have been transferred online in part or full as a result of COVID-19, and refund 20% of fees already paid on such units as some of the courses have practical sessions.
2) The Government must amend VISA conditions to allow international students to shift to part-time study while impacted by online study and isolation measures.
3) Home office should extend the visa of the students graduating in 2020.
