We’ll Cancel Interest on Student Loans
On Education ,lets invest more wisely in young people: university students are being ripped off with high fees often for just online learning. Many degree courses could be done in 2 years not 3 years, which could save students thousands of pounds.
We would scrap student loans and extend the capital repayment period, which will improve the debt recovery rate.
We would introduce a a new workable apprenticeship scheme. We have to be honest that many young people would be better learning whilst in work rather than accruing ridiculous amounts of debt.
Our schools and pupils need better technology to give them the best chances as we help prepare them for life. Covid has changed so much more. Our children learn best in school and never again must we shut them, forcing children to learn from home for weeks on end.
Schools must focus on the basics of teaching every child to read and write.
Teachers must be free to teach pupils how to think, not what to think, without fear of woke police or religious persecution.
