Liberal Democrats
Votes for: 4 Votes against: 0 Many students are now graduating with well over £15,000 debts. These huge debts discourage young people from choosing university, especially those from poorer backgrounds. We believe university education should be based on the ability to learn not the ability to pay. We would scrap student top-up fees and tuition fees. The Liberal Democrats don’t just oppose top up and student tuition fees because we disagree with the policy. All of society benefits from a well educated and skilled workforce – from a state trained plumber to a state educated brain surgeon. But fees and the huge debts that they result in will put young people off going to university especially those from low-income families. |
