Do not scrap the maintenance grant for students

The Issue

Teenagers, young adults depend on the maintenance grant to help with living expenses through their time at University. Most students will leave with debts in excess of 30k. The latest move from the conservative party 2015 budget could see that pushing 45k We cannot allow the Conservative party to scupper the chances of working class or poorer family's from having a chance of further education. My eldest son has recently finished his degree in chemistry, he found himself a job at a local university (albeit temporary) so certainly isn't resting on his laurels. I'm not so sure my youngest will have the same opportunity with this latest move. This absolutely must not happen Please sign and protect the the education of future generations. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-33444557
