Low-achieving school leavers should be banned from taking out student loans as part of a crackdown on poor-quality university courses, says a group of 30 Tory MPs.
Any students who fail to “pass” GCSE English and maths at grade 4 or get at least three Es at A-level should not be allowed to apply for student loans, says the New Conservatives group of MPs.
The MPs said too many low quality university courses were currently propped up by Government funds through student loans without offering the taxpayer value for money.
It is estimated that more than a quarter of students will fail to reach the £25,000 salary threshold to start repaying their loan 10 years after graduation.
The value of outstanding student loans stood at £206 billion at the end of March 2023 but is projected by the Government to rise to £460 billion by the mid-2040s.
Changes would reduce number of university students by 15 per cent
The report, co-authored by former education minister Jonathan Gullis and Lia Nici MP, said: “Too many courses are propped up by Government funding that do not deliver value for money to the students. Contact hours and the rigour of courses are often low, and the earnings potential of graduates does not justify the debt accrued.”

Closing the door of potential opportunities?
Is this short sightedness?
