Date | 13:17:02, March 24, 2006 CET | From | Communist Party of Aldegar | To | Debating the Means-Tested Loans Act |
Message | We believe that this proposal would be much fairer as it would allow students to get on with their education and get started in a career before worrying about paying back loans. It would encourage young people from lower-income families into higher education, which can only be for the good of the country. |
