@MartinSLewis This would support the students mental health, when they see the loan is decreasing too!

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MartinSLewis My thoughts, student education should be funded by the government as they were previously. As this is unlikely now, I would remove any interest charged on the loans and ask that they pay back 5% for anything earned over £40000 over a 25 year period before they are written off.

@MartinSLewis The Student Loan should be 0% interest in my humble opinion!

@MartinSLewis I would abolish interest on all plans along with as you suggest abolish the freeze on the level at which you start paying the loan! If I were to go a little further the Students should not pay for their education, it should be free. They in general terms pay it back through tax.

@TheBMA @BMAResidents @wesstreeting consider writing off Student Loans from the start and paying the GMC fees for current and to be Resident Doctors. Bring this to the table during negotiations. Medicine Degree at university should be free for previous, current and new UK students.

@TheBMA @BMAResidents Do you think it would also be good to request Student Loans for Resident Doctors are written off in addition to the latest offer?

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MartinSLewis You could debate that crucial degrees should be similar to a degree apprenticeship where they are paid for completing the degree with a potential of a job at the end of it too. Medical degrees require a lot of on the job learning as part of the degree.

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MartinSLewis For me any crucial degree that provides essential service for the country should be free. The debate I guess is what is classed as crucial. Medical degrees, Law to begin the debate. I would also suggest any of these degrees should also write off legacy and present student loans.

@mattdb97 @MartinSLewis Hi Matt, apologies, I have not long seen this message. Our concern is our three daughters, two at uni at minute, will possibly be coming out of higher education with student loans over £120,000 and the interest being applied to the loans is frightening.

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MoneySavingExp Does that include Resort Fees?

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MartinSLewis Bring back Student Grants. At the very least remove interest charges on Student Loans and the 9% repayment charge should be similar to salary sacrifice, that is no income tax or NI is paid on any repayment.

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MoneySavingExp If they abolished Student Loan interest rates, that would be a start! For me our children/young adults should not have to pay for their education. Generally university students pay higher taxes. The old system of grants worked.

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@MartinSLewis Education should be free. There should not be a need to take out a loan.

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@PhilipJSparrow @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @Jeremy_Hunt Completely agree. Student loans are having a huge impact on our children planning to or at or have gone to university!

[S Patel @SatTheBat]

@TomDavidForrest @MartinSLewis @itvMLshow @Jeremy_Hunt Not to forget the 6.25% interest being charged from the day they get their loan! Student loans are a huge concern for our children.
