@bbcnews: Earlier this summer, a parliamentary inquiry found that the way loans had been presented to teenagers amounted to mis-selling - including comparing repayments to mobile phone contracts. Responding to today’s protests, a government spokesperson said it’s taking decisive action to improve the student finance system, including raising the repayment threshold for Plan 2 loans for the first time since 2021. And it says it will continue to look for ways to make the system fairer for students, graduates and taxpayers in a financially sustainable way. #StudentLoans #UKGovernment #University #BBCNews

SimpleReece :

why tf am i gonna be in £100k student debt when u graduate

niko :

yall go protest and i who refuses to go to uni so I don't have to pay none

Ryan :

£1400 paid last year, and still not covering interest. By the time I earn enough to finally stop the interest rising, I'll be paying about £2500 a year and have £100,000 of debt

cruxgemata :

poor students who take the loan will eventually end up paying more in the long run because of the insane interest rates than someone who’s well off and is able to pay off immediately or not take the loan at all. it’s awful

Luk :

Well if it’s unfair don’t do it?

NoahFexx :

Students getting themselves into debt in 2026 aren't aware of whats going on in the world today..

nn :

I'm gonna use this as application for my a level economic exam

ron_tiktok_2021 :

Who on earth is loaning students though 🥺

martin3647 :

Unless the degree is a requirement for a future career eg medicine then avoid a full time degree

Jennie 205 :

I graduated in 2010 no idea how much has been added in interest as I haven’t been able to pay off as I’ve not earned enough to start paying it back 😣

Beagle :

Callum Kitson :

Reduce the interest of student loans to inflation and limit pension increases to inflation to fund it.

leah⸆⸉ 💗 :

Spud Murphy :

If I borrow I’m expected to pay it back but I’m not in that privileged position

James :

Paid a combined £900 for my undergraduate and masters last month, the interest added for the month was £1600

Mick :

Vote Green 💚

Sci-fi :

cruxgemata :

one bonus i received at work triggered my student loan repayment even thought i haven’t earned enough to qualify for it since. how does that make sense? how does one-off bonus show that i’m able to start repaying the loan even though every other paycheck i’ve gotten before and since has not reached the required amount???
