Remove or reduce tuition fees at universities teaching online due to Covid-19.
We ask the government to consider that for the upcoming year 20/21 tuition fees are removed or reduced with a reviewal for the year 21/22.
We also ask you to consider partially refunding fees for the academic year 19/20, for the terms that were disrupted as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic.
The new online teaching methods
& financial pressures have negatively impacted students, causing a deterioration on their mental health & many have had to give up their education.
With International students almost paying double the amount to study, some independently paying university fees & many finding themselves in further debt with Student Finance England. We the students need the government/parliament to support us during these unprecedented times & adhere to our requests, immediately.
