4 October 2009

圖朸厙 has responding to an announcement from the Conservative Party that it would fund an additional 10,000 university places through early repayment bonuses.

圖朸厙 general secretary, Sally Hunt, said: '圖朸厙 welcomes anything that adds to the debate around how we ensure talented would-be students can fulfil their potential. However, rather than gimmicks, we need clear commitments on funding - not short-term sticky plaster policies.

'Furthermore, providing a reduction for students lucky enough to have wealthy parents simply entrenches inequality and means that higher education will be most expensive for those families who can afford it least.'
