We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Scrap student loans for tuition fees for nursing students from 2017 until 2020
Get rid of the debt that student nurses incurred for tuition fees between the years 2017-2020.
Studying nursing was free to the individual previously, then in 2017 the Government ended its system of bursaries and we had to start paying £9,250 per year.
More details
From 2020 nursing students receive a bursary and the NHS pays their tuition fees, meaning that many of those who started in 2017 have a student loan of £27,750, while most of those in earlier and later cohorts do not. We pay a lot of money to our student loan every month and many others pay nothing. It is a massive effect on our pay and it is only fair to get rid of the student loan debt for everyone.
