Do not exclude over 60s from tuition fee loans from 2025

Closed 69 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK retirement age is ever increasing, and we believe capping student finance eligibility for student loans at age 60 unfairly discriminates against older people who wish to reskill in order to continue to improve their work capability post age 60.
We believe the planned changes to student finance in 2025 are discriminatory and will not benefit the economy.
