>Maintenance loans are adjusted in line with inflation forecasts rather than inflation itself. Because inflation has been significantly higher than forecast, students are being hit harder …
>The report warns that the cuts in support will not only affect students this year, but potentially for years to come. “There is no mechanism in place for these cuts ever to be undone, as past forecast errors are not considered when the adjustment in entitlements for the following year is determined.
Honestly at this point the whole HE system in this country is completely fucked.
Actually wild to think it was one of the most outstanding sectors in the country that was so widely regarded across the world, after 12 years of the Tories we have staff working themselves to the point of illness, often for not much more than minimum wage, while students pay through the nose to spend 3 years living in a state that would make even students from the 70s and 80s feel like they were living in luxury, for a piece of paper that in practical terms means next to nothing.
Why do poorer people even bother with uni when it’s so expensive?
Honestly, students can moan and whinge about money all they like, but at the end of the day, it’s what they signed up for.
Why does anyone bother with degree these days, the majority of students go to some poly, get 30k in debt and come out with a degree not worth the paper it’s written on
Doesn’t seem fair that benefits rise with inflation whilst student loans don’t. Don’t the government want more educated people? Of course they don’t. They like to keep the poor, poor, and dependent on them.
* yes benefits should rise by inflation also, I agree *
