Re: Should education be free?
Students get a loan which is paid to the university to cover the costs of the course, they get a grant to cover rent, food and any equipment needed, which doesn't, believe me! My youngest has had to find hundreds of pounds for kit before the course starts. The grants aren't paid out until weeks after the course starts. The government are talking about changing grants to loans. Next year will be the degree year which means a couple of thousand for kit and materials. Many students can't afford the final year so drop out before they get the degree. At college you can only do up to level 2 before you have to pay so some can't afford the full qualifications.Re: Should education be free?
All education should be paid for from taxation. I was fortunate enough to get my education when student grants were still available. I could never have afforded to go to university otherwise. Free health care and free education are the signs of a truly civilised society.Re: Should education be free?
