If you take 2 minutes to sign this e-petition it will tell the government that we don't want top up fees to increase any more (it could be up to £10,000 a year) - in fact we don't want fees at all !!!My 4 year course with one repeated year means I have £21,000 of debt - with interest rising at £10 a week! I know it's not as bad as a commercial loan but i'll still be paying it off in 20 years time. Why should you pay for your education when the whole point of being educated means you can make a valuable contribution to society? Should a Doctor be £40,000 in debt before they start a career of saving people's lives?
When the Government passed the bill to inroduce Fees it only won by 3 votes - So when they want to raise them in a years time - we can convince them they shouldn't do it !!!
The petition reads - Since the introduction of university tuition fees, many thousands of talented young people from deprived backgrounds have not gone to university. In 2006 came the introduction of variable fees; the next stage of the marketisation of English higher education. This will invariable lead to those poorer students going to poorer universities, whilst the rich students go to rich universities. This is unfair, inequitable and unsustainable. Link to the site:
Please Sign it and get everyone you know to sign it - especially if you have younger brothers and sisters!
