Rejected petition Retain eligibility for further finance for additional STEM based degrees in 2025
we request the government retain the current eligibility entitlement to further student finance for additional Bachelors’ degrees if the proposed additional degree is a STEM subject - as is the current position.
More details
Given the current shortage of workers and huge amount of post 50 years old people who are inactive and not currently seeking work, it would improve the economy by tempting early retirees back into employment via re- education.
By retaining the STEM entitlement for further student finance for additional Bachelors’ degrees - this creates opportunity for a better educated, more skilled, more flexible and adaptable workforce.
