Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by David Chaytor (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 14 January 2010 on behalf of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
Student Maintenance Support
- Question
- Forty-three per cent. of students in higher education are part-time students, and future growth will largely come from part-time and mature students. Is there not a powerful argument for raising the cap on full-time undergraduate fees in order to develop a unified system, giving part-time students the same access to financial support that full-time students enjoy?
- Answer
-
My hon. Friend puts his point forcefully. I shall not be drawn on the outcome of the review, but I can say that he is right to underline the position of part-time students and to call for better equity. That is why we have asked Lord Browne to examine the position of part-time students, in particular.
