Nursing graduates hit by student loan changes

The government is consulting on plans to lower the threshold and increase the repayment period

I’m James Macdonald with news that nursing graduates will be hit hard changes to student loan repayments. The government is consulting on plans to lower the threshold and increase the repayment period from 30 to 40 years. Theses changes will mean students in England will start paying off the loan sooner and will keep paying for their degrees well into retirement. The Royal College of Nursing say this is a blow for anyone wishing to enter the profession. We’ll keep you up to date on this and other stories here on Care Radio.
