UK MPs launch inquiry as debt fears rise over the value of degrees
England’s Treasury Select Committee begins a formal inquiry into the student loan system as graduates and experts urge reform of Plan 2 loans, amid public concern that university degrees aren’t worth the cost. A British Social Attitudes survey shows 34% now think higher education isn’t worth the time and money, up from 14% in 2005, while critics warn that rising interest and a frozen repayment threshold threaten long-term financial security, and the government defends protections for lower earners and capped interest, calling for broader reforms.
UK graduates say loan terms were unclear, prompting MPs inquiry
A Treasury Committee inquiry attracted over 52,000 responses showing widespread confusion and frustration over student loan terms, especially Plan 2. Respondents report that 9% of earnings above the repayment threshold go to repayments while the threshold is frozen for years, narrowing finances and potentially hindering mortgage lending and saving. The committee says reforms are needed and will consider options, noting that poorer and middle‑income borrowers may bear more over a lifetime while terms have repeatedly changed.
