Student grants will be cut and turned into loans as of September this year, under new plans by the Conservatives.<\/p>\n

First proposed in July, Tories are pushing ahead with plans to scrap maintenance grants for more than half a million of England’s poorest students.<\/p>\n

Many MPs and Students Unions have criticised the government for pushing this legislation through the ‘back-door’ of their plans.<\/p>\n

This meant that it was not brought onto the parliamentary floor for a debate or a vote. Instead, ‘a committee most people have never heard of’ decided on the cut.<\/p>\n

The grants help around half a million students from poorer and disadvantaged backgrounds go to university. The money goes towards living costs including rent, food and travel.<\/p>\n

\n

students will be left with a debt of up to £53,000<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

According to a Huffington Post UK article by Wes Streeting<\/a> the Labour MP for Ilford North, the Institute for Fiscal Studies estimates that by replacing the grants with a loan, England’s poorest <\/span>students will be left with a debt of up to £53,000<\/span> for a three year course. This is instead of the £40,500 of debt under the current legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents are now worried that the new plans will mean their children don't go to university so they are not left in debt when they have graduate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When the coalition government increased tuition fees in 2012, it came with a promise of maintenance grants to help young people afford higher education. This is thought to have contributed to the slight increase in university attendance in the following years.<\/p>\n

MPs, students and their unions plan to call for a full debate in Parliament and vote on whether the cuts should go forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
