While student loans and rising student debt are dominating the conversation at Westminster, it’s worth remembering that the SNP Government scrapped tuition fees in 2008. We did so because we don’t believe anyone no matter their background should face financial barriers to accessing higher education. No one should be... show more

While Labour announces a rise in tuition fees in England, ⁦The SNP⁩ government scrapped them in Scotland. My values are clear - education must be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay. Labour can’t be trusted, and only the SNP will protect free education.

David Friedberg: “ I believe 100% in ending the federal student loan program.” “I think that it will force a restructuring of the higher education system in the United States, which no one wants to hear, no one wants to do, and everyone is against.” “But I think it is the only path forward.” “I think this is one of the top three most important issues we should be discussing right now.” “We have to get rid of the federal student loan program, and we have to force a rightsizing of higher education, and a restructuring of higher education, such that the access to education becomes more ubiquitous.” “It's not this $300,000 debt load that everyone is forced to take on.”

Young people should not be saddled with a lifetime of debt just because they want to get an education. Abolish tuition fees, restore maintenance grants and deliver free education for all.

Doug Ford changed OSAP so it’s harder for regular families to afford college or university. Kids who work hard should be able to get an education not be shut out because their parents aren’t rich. Education should be for everyone, not just the wealthy. Doug Ford needs to go.

“If you’re on EBT/SNAP, we should take away your ability to vote.” “Anyone who is on welfare, not for disability, but because they can’t provide for themselves, should not have the ability to vote.” “You can’t even take care of yourself, so how are you going to be able to decide the future of our nation?” That’s pretty based! I never really thought of it that way before.

The Trump Administration is officially putting an end to Joe Biden’s illegal student loan bailout attempts. No student loan has been referred to collections since March 2020. But starting on May 5th, U.S. Department of Education will resume involuntary collections for borrowers with defaulted federal student loans. Debt cannot be wiped away – it just ends up getting transferred to others. Why should Americans who didn’t go to college or went to college and responsibly paid back their loans – pay for other Americans’ student loans? If you take out a loan – you must pay it back.

Today, I commissioned the Busoga Zonal Presidential Industrial Hub in Jinja City! It is crucial that we revive our commitment to free education in primary and secondary schools. We can’t let school fees hinder our children’s future. Every parish should have access to free education without financial barriers. The NRM's vision was to ensure every child could learn without the burden of fees, and we must return to that principle. I am happy with our training programs at the hub, but we are going to expand them to include motor vehicle engineering and ICT.

The education of children who are the future of our country cannot be played with...that is why the Bihar government has come forward and wants to add B.Ed to primary. Child's education should not be degree based but merit based.... #बीएड_की_उम्मीद_बिहार_सरकार

Public higher education should be free. We shouldn't be in the business of putting students into lifelong debt for getting an education. We bailed out the crooks on Wall Street who crashed the economy to the tune of trillions of dollars - we can afford to bail out our students.

Education remains a crucial instrument for addressing inequality. For many of our citizens they are the first in their families to access higher education. We should continue to encourage higher education access for generations to follow. I spoke earlier today at the Tshwane University of Technology’s Ga-Rankuwa campus. City of Tshwane

Student-athletes should NOT be classified as “employees” of their universities. This week, I introduced the Protecting Student Athletes’ Economic Freedom Act to safeguard college athletes' ability to benefit from their name, image, and likeness.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows. I think it’s appealing to people’s sense of decency— I should be careful on that. I thought a message that we should value all people and we should have an immigration policy that adheres to the law and adheres to humanity and they talked about dogs and cats and they won.

Scotland is not doing well under the SNP. We are the highest-taxed part of the UK. Our councils are underfunded. Education is not as good as it should be. Roads are full of potholes. We need to get the SNP out and elect a Scottish Conservatives government to focus on Scotland’s priorities.

Why is it important that Panjab University should remain with Punjab and no centeralisation. This farmer has one acre of land. Wanted higher education for his children. His son cleared JEE mains with flying colours got a seat in Delhi. Fees being beyond their reach they opted for Panjab University’s UIT today he’s placed in a top IT company and getting a good salary. We want education to be affordable and accessible to our children from Panjab. We must understand that centralisation also means that education out of reach. Colleges in Chandigarh itself has reservation for Chandigarh students. Panjab University is a place where quality and affordable education and first prefrefrence should be of Punjab's students. This University was transferred from Lahore to Chandigarh. Panjab University is for Punjab and so shall it be.
