Is student debt putting people off going to university- here’s what the people of Liverpool had to say

Is student debt worth it?

Transcript

00:00No, I don't think students should have to pay for their education. We are educating

00:05them to run our country and to run all our businesses, so we should help them to help

00:11us.

00:12It's like my own son, he's got a degree in art and design, but he's working in a bank,

00:15so he thinks his degree was a little bit wasted, really. He was going to be a teacher, art

00:21teacher, but yeah, it's difficult, isn't it, with the students and they're paying up

00:28for years and years, aren't they?

00:30I think they should just be allowed to go to university and be given the grants, not

00:35having to take loans out. They're only young kids, aren't they? In fact, my older daughter,

00:43it happened to her when she went to uni.

00:46They should knock the interest off, because at the end of the day, they're students. If

00:51they're getting degrees, then that's to get jobs in our country and build the country

00:54up, isn't it? I don't think they should have interest on these loans when they're students,

00:59I don't.
