EDUCATION MAINTENANCE ALLOWANCE

That this House supports the extension of education maintenance allowance to over half a million young people who have signed up to receive the allowance since it was rolled out nationally in 2004; calls on the Government to never waiver in its commitment to 16 to 19 year olds who wish to stay on in higher education; opposes any attempts to deny the poorest young people in society the financial assistance to stay on in education; and calls on the Government to guarantee the future of the education maintenance allowance.
