        @bcarswell @BBCBreaking but that's the same as now then, isn't it? If you get a degree, then everyone is in the same boat.

        @Audere2010 @BBCBreaking I agree to a point but why should poorer get a grant and then get a good job and not pay any back?

        @baige123 @BBCBreaking Because education should be about education, not profit. Uneducated, doesn't equate to stupid, country looses

        @Audere2010 @BBCBreaking poorer people can still get a loan, that's no problem. There's now an incentive to do well at uni and not waste it.

        @Audere2010 @BBCBreaking yeah, exactly. So why should grants be given to poorer people? Offer a loan for all.
