Fund free University education for British Students

Closed 287 signatures

What the petition asks

I believe education should be available to all. An educated nation is a thriving nation. The UK will benefit in the long term from an educated, well-trained population. Innovation, creativity, skills can help add to our economy.
Funding should be provided to allow all British people to go to University for free. I believe that education isn't a luxury but a necessary for a thriving nation. We need a population with the necessary skills, level of education or creative abilities to grow our economy and improve the wellbeing of the country. An educated population is a happy prosperous one, who can also pass to their children this learning and further develop the UK. Borrowing huge amounts of money could dissuade future leaders in industry and the arts.
