Campaign group Rethink Repayment and the National Union of Students are unhappy with the government‘s response to the student loans inquiry. On Thursday, they protested outside No. 10 North. Earlier this summer, a parliamentary inquiry found that the way loans had been presented to teenagers amounted to mis-selling - including comparing repayments to mobile phone contracts. Responding to today’s protests, a government spokesperson said it’s taking decisive action to improve the student finance system, including raising the repayment threshold for Plan 2 loans for the first time since 2021. And it says it will continue to look for ways to make the system fairer for students, graduates and taxpayers in a financially sustainable way.
