THE Education Secretary said today she will “look at” Plan B student loans as the National Union of Students demanded she “scrap above inflation interest rates, unfreeze thresholds, and cap interest to make the student loan system work for graduates.”

While refusing to commit to changing the system, Bridget Phillipson admitted a “fairer” arrangement was needed for former students.

But when the former home secretary was asked whether graduates would have their financial burden eased, she warned that her government was faced with “a question of priorities.”
