Introduce extra exam/assessment support for University Students.
A fair decision needs to be made and reinforced across all universities. University students deserve to have the fairest grades awarded to them as has been introduced for GCSE and A-level students. Whether this would mean introducing a safety net or lowering the Grade Boundaries.
In the Prime Ministers announcement of the third national lockdown he announced that GCSES and A-levels can not take place this year with the continued disruption to education. I would like to ask how university students are expected to complete exams and assessments in similar conditions to that of GCSE and A-level students. There has been no support this year or acknowledgment that online learning does negatively impact some students grades.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Decisions about the assessment of university courses are a matter for individual universities, not the UK Government or Parliament.
The Office for Students has published guidance for providers about quality and standards during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which sets out its expectations regarding teaching and assessments: www.officeforstudents.org.uk/publications/guidance-for-providers-about-quality-and-standards-during-coronavirus-pandemic/.
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.
