More than 170,000 former and current students are seeking compensation from 36 British universities over the quality of education they received during the COVID-19 pandemic, claiming it did not match their tuition fees.
In a significant move, over 170,000 former and current students have come together to demand compensation from 36 British universities regarding the quality of education they received during the COVID-19 pandemic. These students assert that the educational services provided did not meet the standards implied by the tuition fees they paid, leading to claims that their learning experience was adversely affected. This collective action follows a recent agreement between University College London (UCL) and the Student Group Claim (SGC), which represented 6,000 students impacted by the pandemic. The specifics of this deal remain confidential, but analysts indicate that eligible students might claim as much as £5,000 each.
