Debate

Plan 2 Student Loans: Repayment Terms

Contribution

My Lords, does my noble friend agree that is quite difficult to determine the value of certain kinds of degree course if the only measure used is what you can earn after you have completed them? Would she further agree that there are some sectors which are extremely important to the health of our economy and our general well-being, such as the arts and the cultural sector, in which it is pretty difficult to earn very high salaries, but the value of the people who are in those sectors is worth appreciating just as much?
