Rejected petition: Make University Free in England and Cut Student Loan Interest
Rejected on
Make university tuition free for eligible home students in England from 2026/27 or 2027/28, and remove student loan interest. Like eligible Scottish students, students in England deserve fair access to higher education. We are all British.
University fees and loan interest can discourage people from studying. I want free undergraduate tuition for eligible home students in England from 2026/27 or 2027/28 and reduced or zero student loan interest. This could encourage more people to train for jobs in the NHS, social care, teaching, engineering, construction and technology, helping develop home-grown skills and reduce reliance on overseas recruitment where suitable UK-trained workers are available.
