It is unfair to expect students to complete exams to the best of their ability and to apply to university without the finances to get sufficient supplies/resources. Reinstating this allowance could help level the playing field, and help more young people obtain better jobs, and so help decrease unemployment.
We believe bringing back the EMA in England will help students flourish and thus the future of Britain will be brighter.
