Compensation for university strikes

Are university students entitled to compensation if the lecturers are striking continuously as they are at the moment, most students are paying £9000 a year and missing out on valuable lessons.

    I'd say the Government should be entitled to compensation given that most of the fee loans won't be paid by students.

    They should certainly be entitled to some 'catch-up' lessons I would have thought.

    Most Universities have a building known as a Library. I suggest the time not spent in classes, is spent there reading around the seminars/tutorials you aren't attending.

    Are they striking continuously? I can see they have been out a few times recently, but this is obviously less than 'continuously' to be fair.

    If you're a mathematics or physics student I'd suggest you were wasting your money anyway in which case.
