- 14,770 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 15,555 - 53 added in the past 24hrs)
Over the past 2 years (Sept ‘21–‘23), inflation (RPIX) has been 21%. But max Student Loans in England rose by just 5.2%, leaving students up to £1,500/year worse off (real terms). The government must increase loans to catch up with inflation, or we fear many students won’t be able to survive at uni.

- 14,656 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 14,875 - 4 added in the past 24hrs)
We believe the UK Government's policy requiring five-year residency for BN(O) visa holders for home fee status for tuition is unfair, and that home fee status should be available after 3 years continuous stay in the UK.
