Thanks to all who responded to my earlier message about the new loan
scheme for part time students. I have now been in touch with the
DfEE to try and find out further information,
e.g. will all part time students be eligible or will there be a
minimum requirement (maybe 50% if a full time course as for Access
Funds)?
who will decide whether students are eligible, (I don't suppose I'm
the only one who fears it will be another job given to institutions
like Hardship Loans)
if loans will be 'at least £500' what will be the upper limit?
will there be any consultation over the implementation of the plans?
So far, they haven't been able to answer my questions although I have
been assured that someone will ring me back. I'll pass on any
information I get.
