Scrap Free Uni for Rich Kids

I think we should stop giving free university tuition to kids from rich families, it's a waste of taxpayer money. We need to focus on helping ppl who actually need it, like low income families who can't afford to send their kids to uni. Right now the system is unfair, cos kids from wealthy families are getting a free ride while their parents are still earning good money, it's just not right.

We should means test uni tuition fees, so only ppl who really need the help get it, it's just common sense. This way we can make sure the govt is using our tax money efficiently, and not just throwing it around. I work in retail, I know how important it is to keep costs down and make sure you're getting value for money, and that's what the govt should be doing with uni fees.

It's not just about the money tho, it's about fairness and making sure everyone has an equal chance.

Means testing university fees? Sounds like another layer of bureaucracy that’ll probably end up costing more to administer than it saves. Still, at least it’s not as daft as trying to means test the Queen.

This sounds like it would just push more people

What about students from low-income backgrounds who get into top universities but still struggle with living costs, would this policy also provide them with additional support or just focus on tuition fees?

Means testing the Queen? Now that's an idea that would really stir the pot.
