Grants gamble to save bill
Article Abstract:
The Labour government is set to make a number of concessions in its efforts to ease the passage of its higher education bill. Concessions will include a UKPd500 increase in grants to students from poor homes, with maintenance grants, which are due to be introduced this year, rising to UKPd1,500 when top-up fees are introduced in 2006. Student loans will also be increased to meet the cost of living identified in a government student income and expenditure survey. Outstanding student debts will be forgiven after 25 years and graduates will only have to start repaying their debts when their salaries exceed UKPd15,000/yr.
