Plan 2 Student Loans: Repayment Terms

Contribution

I absolutely support my noble friend’s view of the value of a university education; it cannot always be measured in monetary success. But obviously, the outcomes of students going to different institutions is a measure that is looked at—how many of them get into employment, what that employment is and whether they go on to further training. It is true that there are some narrowly held preconceived views about the value of some courses that actually do an enormous amount, not only for the well-being of the students but for the economy and well-being of the country.
