- Meeting date: 16 December 2015
The Government have announced they would freeze the repayment threshold of graduates paying back their student loans at £21,000 a year meaning the average graduate would pay back about £3,000 extra, while disadvantaged students who had previously been eligible for support grants would be even worse off with the replacement of maintenance grants with loans. How will you ensure that London's universities do not lose out on talent and how will you ensure that disadvantaged young people are still able to access Higher Education?
