Make all student loans interest free.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

University fees are already at an unbelievably high price; the fact that loansharks utilise this to exploit struggling students to make a quick profit is appalling. Loans with interest are designed to trap working class people in a system of dependency and keep the poor poor and the rich rich.
