Scrap student loan interest rates in England

Closed 718 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like the government to abolish the interest rate on student loans, or stop universities from charging tuition fees at all.
I do not think student loans, including the interest that is paid on them, is explained well enough to students at school before they apply to enter higher education. I believe the high interest rate on student loans is having a real impact on working people's take home pay.
