Like eligible Scottish students, students in England deserve fair access to higher education. We are all British.","additional_details":"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.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":7,"created_at":"2026-10-23T00:11:56.169Z","updated_at":"2026-11-09T15:57:20.334Z","rejected_at":"2026-11-09T15:57:18.261Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-10-23T18:06:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":"You may wish to sign this petition which calls for a similar action: \r\nFund free university and higher education\r\nhttps://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/772481"},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
