Student Loans Under Fire
Description
Parliament’s under fire as student loan debt in England hits a boiling point—repayment thresholds frozen, interest stacking up, and grads questioning if university was worth it. Once a rare view, 34% now think degrees aren’t worth the cost, fueled by stories like a high-earning woman whose debt keeps ballooning, forcing life-altering choices. While the government claims the system protects lower earners, critics like Rethink Repayment say the freeze breaks the original promise. Over 50,000 personal stories poured into MPs’ offices—proof that for a whole generation, education debt isn’t just a number, it’s a burden.
