#its literally on sight for tories

Why have I only just found out about this. I knew about the British Government’s debates over if people doing creative courses (Art, theatre, ect) should even be eligible for loans, which was bad enough, but this? If someone fails their Maths and/or English GCSE once, they can never apply for a loan? Even if they resit that exam and get an A? Even if they get As in everything else? Possibly never in their life are they going to be able to go to uni, because of this. Wtf. “Weed out low quality courses”. This is the most clasist and ableist thing they could have possibly done. I’m not even surprised.

Also, before there was a petition to stop this. The government rejected it.
