University students protest across UK over “lack of support” during pandemic – BBC News
Students from more than 50 universities are taking part in a rent strike in protest at how the pandemic has affected their studies.
Many courses have moved to remote learning which has caused some students to go back home.
With mental health also a big concern, the Higher Education regulator is calling for more financial and emotional support for students.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

I get some of the situations are hard, but asking to get everything for free, welcome to Real life, there are millions more in worse situations, people still just get on with life, most student have part time jobs, why not full time jobs and study at night.

University staff, teachers, government officials are receiving their paycheques unaffected. What about the student? They paid the full fee but received no support for the whole year. Is it fair?

It’s not only that we demand a refund because of getting online education instead of face-to-face. I am personally furious that lecturers don’t even try and make an effort to make these classes engaging. They just throw us into breakout rooms for 30min and that’s it. They are unprepared and unmotivated just as students are. But here’s the thing, they get paid the same amount for less effort and we pay the same amount for worse quality classes. One day I asked my personal tutor why we have so many pre recorded classes instead of live discussions, she told me that „teachers also have a life outside of Uni, they need to take care of their children and we need to think about their convenience too” EXCUSE ME, if there was no pandemic they would still have to drive to the Uni and teach a class whilst having to take care of their kids and they manage to do it. Also, in most European countries education is 10x cheaper or even free! And the quality is just as high, if not higher. UK is such a rich country, yet the gov can’t pay for educating people and even Erasmus is too expensive for them. Shite…

The way we have been treated by our unis is a joke.
I got bullied by a lecturer in front of the rest of my class, calling me stupid and unmotivated and lazy, because I have Aspergers and I was struggling with the online lecture. I'm confident that if I had been sat in one of our classrooms and it was a face-to-face he wouldn't have addressed me like that. "High quality learning" is a joke.

Good on em. Too many older folk complainin abt students, yet these older ppl forget the Care staff – medics, physios, therapists treatin em were once students too. So if anything we must help students all we can and encourage them & tell Gov't wot we fink via Consultations/ M.Ps, etc.

Stop going to uni. They will have to lower the fees. I was supposed to be finished with my MA and I decided to wait until this whole fiasco is over. I am not paying 16,000.00 pounds for on-line lectures and Youtube videos.
