Chancellor George Osborne said on BBC that starting September next year, the grants for university maintenance that are geared towards giving lower income students the privilege to pursue tertiary education will be scrapped. These reforms will provide “new loans” for less privileged students which is amounted to £8,200 per year.
I, the undersigned, would like to petition the Education Secretary and Secretary of State for Business to keep the grants of the low income students and stop the scrapping of the university maintenance for less privileged students in 2016. I believe this is not a satisfying solution that is deserved by all but rather a risk that would compromise the affordability and accessibility of education in the country. Approving this proposed plan would not only give burdens to the students but to the future of state’s well-being.
I also would like to reach out that this will discourage a lot of smart and bright students who aspire to discover their full potential in any field they want to choose. It would be possible that this education system will be discriminative in the sense that those who have privileged backgrounds are the only ones who can avail this supposed to be accessible and affordable education. Education is the future of the country!
Thank you for considering my petition
Sincerely,
The undersigned
