Millennial MP Zarah Sultana is sounding the alarm about student loan debt

University certainly shouldn’t be sold as the be all and end all , but higher education should always be available as an option for young people, regardless of their social class.

Directing her speech to universities minister Chris Skidmore, Sultana said: “In 2010, like thousands of other young people I argued against the tripling of tuition fees. But the government ignored us. And now I currently have around £50,000 of student debt.” “The current student finance system removes financial barriers for those hoping to study,” he said. “The government reviews support for students annually and has recently announced a 2.9% increase to maximum grants and maintenance loans for the 2020/21 academic year and this takes support for lowest income students to record levels.”
