England's highest student debt, £231,000 Largest repayment, £110,000. Another had interest alone of £55,000. Average graduate debt, £44,940. Over £206bn of what was once public debt now loaded to households. Abolish university tuition fees. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-685349…
@premnsikka Strange that since the introduction of this student tax (they are not loans) the numbers of people going to university has risen dramatically. You might find las in Scotland - if the state pays, place numbers will be cut drastically.
@premnsikka Tuition fees are 27k. So what did this student piss the remaining £204000 away on?
@premnsikka Absolutley not. Now get to work to clear it down.
@premnsikka We should pay the student loan repayments for any student that gets a 1st in a STEM subject, whilst they work in the UK. If you've spent 4 years dodging lectures on your gender studies course, you deserve to be in debt.
@premnsikka Doesn’t “abolish student fees” simply mean “the government will pay all student fees” In which case, the govt — i.e. taxpayers — will just be footing the entire bill. That’s seems a very strange policy to advocate if you oppose the existing large cost “loaded to households”.
@premnsikka Expected % of students that’ll fully repay their loan: 17% The real loser is the taxpayer.
