General Election 2019

At least they are reversing one shitty decision.

Well kinda.

Before: "That included payment of a student’s tuition fees of up to £9,000 and a maintenance grant of £1,000, neither of which were means-tested. It also included two other forms of support that did depend on the student’s financial circumstances: a maintenance grant of between £2,207, for those living at home, and £3,191, for students living away from home in London."

Now: "all nursing students in England will get a £5,000-a-year maintenance grant. In addition, those who plan to work in areas with severe shortages of nurses, or in one of the areas of care where the lack of nurses is acute – such as mental health or learning disability care – will receive another £3,000."

Doesn't sound like it's as much as it was before, while costs of everything have just continued rising over the years.
