Universities that do not return to face-to-face teaching this coming academic year should not be charging full fees, the education secretary has told Sky News.
Speaking to Kay Burley, Gavin Williamson said: “I think if universities are not delivering what students expect, then actually they shouldn’t be charging the full fees.”
He said the government has made it “clear” that “all universities can move back to face-to-face teaching”.
“That’s what we want to see,” Mr Williamson added.
