Write off student loan debt substantially, and reduce % repayments until 2022.

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Reduce the financial stress and burden on those who barely managed to get a job or are in desperate times, and trying to look after loved ones in this horrible financial crisis. We are the ones that are going to be taking on the burden of the country in the future.
There are countless subsidies and holidays for those who have jobs, or own companies. But what about the students who in 10 years time will be repaying the debt that is keeping those in jobs that may not exist in the future with a salary. We want a holiday too. We want a 50k grant too. We want our student loan written off!
