Nick Clegg makes a desperate plea To students: “look before you leap into protests”

Why pay more to go to university?

Well according to the liberal democrats, and the conservative party. They think, increasing the tuition fees to £9,000 would be beneficial towards young people, who are currently at university or planning to go.

This change would only benefit political parties themselves.

This morning (24/11/10) Nick Clegg stated:

“Examine our proposals before taking to the streets. Listen and look before you march and shout.under the new plans, many of the lowest income graduates would repay less than they do under the current system. Nobody will pay a penny back until their earnings reach £21,000 per year, compared to £15,000 now. The highest-earning graduates will pay back the most.”

The proposal which has been made by the liberal democrats does NOT benefit students in any way what so ever.

They feel as though increasing the amount you earn, before you start paying the loan money back, would be beneficial to all?

In actual fact, this means that students would be indebt for a longer period of time. Also if students have to pay less every month, this also means that they would be stuck in an on going barrier of debt, which would take a extensive time to pay back.

So who is this really benefiting?

Students or politicians?

Let us no what you think!
