Implement Takaful model to allow Muslims to attend University

Closed 191 signatures

What the petition asks

Many Muslims continue to miss out on the chance to attend university because of the interest-based student loan. The Government therefore created the Takaful model in 2014 but has still not implemented it. We need the Government to take further steps in order to achieve this.

The current student loan in England involves interest, which is forbidden in Islam. Everyone deserves the chance to go to university. It is not fair that so many Muslims are missing out on this chance. This issue cannot just be swept aside after we were told something would be done about it.
