The idea that states should be forcing people into a specific quid pro quo is quite a draconian notion.
I wasn’t saying it should be compulsory.
If you are faced with £60K student debt after three years, would it not be worth considering a scheme.

Of course it would and everyone would take it. It would be such an obvious benefit to wipe out 60k of debt for a few weeks litter picking that it wouldn’t really be a choice.
The government wouldn’t be getting their ‘return on investment’ in the form of future student debt repayments either, so in effect education would be free as long as you kids do what we say
Better to just have free education, surely?

@jaitch, I’m sure lots of people engaging with their community would help to some degree, but mandatory? If people don’t like doing it to begin with, it’ll be seen as forced labour. It’s not as if it’ll involve anything more than litter picking for most people, and they’ll hate it.
