Increase salary threshold for student loan repayment

Closed 31 signatures

What the petition asks

We believe that the salary threshold for paying back your student loan should be increased. We think what is considered a good wage has changed because, for example, increases in minimum wage.

You can be already paying it off as a recent graduate on 25k. The original justification for student loan repayments was that they were only to be paid back when a graduate earns a good wage in line with having a degree, we believe this is no longer the case. We think there is an intergenerationally unfair burden on graduates
