Force universities to lower tuition costs for the academic year 2020/21

Petition Details

We want the government to lower the maximum legal cost of tuition fees for both home, EU and international students for the academic year 2020/21, due to teaching being mostly online due to Covid-19.

Additional Information

We are getting less hours of lectures compared to last year, and less access to university resources and buildings. We are paying the same amount for a lesser standard of learning - the open university charges £6192 per year for an online only, full time course. I believe we should be paying less than £9250, as due to Covid regulations, many university resources such as libraries are limited, and therefore push us further online.
