To allow students who fail GCSE Maths & English to still have a student loan

What the petition asks
To not pass the law that only gives student loans to those who have passed their GCSE English and Maths.
It’s unethical. Students are the becoming the future. The future to our economy. Without a student loan to support us, we simply can’t go to university. We can’t further ourselves. This new law that only allows loans to students who pass English and Maths GCSEs should not be passed. This will hinder a lot of young peoples aspirations / jobs / mental health
