Students begin Covid compensation claim against 36 more universities - BBC News

More than 170,000 current and former students are initiating legal action against 36 universities, alleging they did not receive the full education they paid for during the Covid pandemic. This follows a settlement between University College London (UCL) and the Student Claim Group, which is now representing other students and graduates. The students argue that the shift to online learning during the pandemic resulted in a significant difference in the quality of education received compared to in-person courses, and they are seeking damages under consumer law.
