Student debt at £231k!

Jo Grady, UCU's general secretary, said: ‘Overloading students with levels of debt this high is frightening. When those working in crucial services like the NHS owe six-figure sums it's clear we need to urgently change how higher education is funded. Tuition fees have become a new form of debt bondage and must be scrapped. We need a new funding model that instead makes employers pay their fair share.’
