An online petition has been set up in the UK by international students who want the government to refund some of their tuition fees.
The petition, which has already received more 32,000 signatures, says “lockdowns have had a massive impact on quality of teaching and student experience”. It's calling for at least 30% of tuition fees to be refunded.
According to official statistics, in the 2019/20 academic year, there were 538,600 overseas nationals studying at UK universities - 22% of the total student population.
