and your not the only one who has to work to pay they're way, i think most people do. i know i certainly do.

 

and why the fuck should people have to pay for the privallige of going to uni, and then labour want to slap them with a graduate tax where they will have to pay a higher tax band just because they went.

[Guest]

erm in a way thats why i dissagree to voting cos even with college it isnt free and me bein a single mum wont get help to go do the course i want to do ie i want to do hair dressing but u have to pay summat like 150 for the equiptment and then i cant work part time cos of my son to help and not to mention childcare isnt cheap for after school n stuff

dani if you are struggling you can apply for grants to help you buy equipment, and lots of colleges provide free child care for their students.

[Guest]

already found out and i can only go on a few 10 week courses whilst on income support i dont get to chose

[RaverBaby69]

did you ask your LEA?

[Guest]

im on income support and not paid national insurance in ages and who the hell are they according to the one office i cant get much help accept the list of courses they have

[RaverBaby69]

the LEA are your Local Education Authority. I'd get in touch with them if you haven't already because they are the ones who make all the decisions on what you can and can't do and what grants/help etc you can get.

[Guest]

[RaverBaby69]

[Guest]

I agree with Chris about paying for uni fees being a good thing if the money is going to be used on important areas like hospitals etc.

 

Of course it's not nice to have to pay for education and be skint for a few years even though you're working all you can to make up the money you need, but it is 'do-able' and i think gives students more incentive to actually do their work, attend their lectures and stay on the course til it ends as opposed to dropping out and fucking about the whole way through it.

 

Students from poorer families do get help so it doesn't alienate them from attending uni either, and there's nothing to say that someone can't do as Chris has and get a part time job to help you financially through uni.

 

If you want to do something in life then it's worth working for and if it means laying out some money for it then so be it, it's gonna make you more money in the long run anyway isn't it so it's not all bad.

thats where the problem of and yes i no its our own faults but y6oung mums who cant go out and work to fund tuition as a child needs a parent about yet they want to have the same oppotunities as everyone else there age jus cos they have had a child dont mean they should be treated differently.

i want to do jus a normal college course but the equiptment costs a lot, i love messing with ppls hair and would love to do hair and possibly beauty and have in future a mobile or work from home business its a lot easier can work on my own hours and a lot of the time shay could come with me but i jus cant afford to do it

yeah but i don't see why people should pay for it when politicians take the piss with the way they spend the money. not only do they have wages but claim everything as expenses. if they cut their wages and stopped them from claiming unnecessary expenses (surely you use your wages to pay your mortgage etc - i don't know any other job than you can claim this as an expense) then maybe i'd think it was ok.

 

maybe then the government wouldn't be crying poverty as much.
