Education is vital to shape a better society and it is essential education is accessible by everybody. University fees have increased rapidly over the past 5 years, tripling in value. Interest rates add to the burden of opting into education. Not only are they drastically high, my own Student Finance proves that these rates exceed the repayment structure - showing this loan is only increasing our debt.
