Many students work long hours in low-paying jobs to afford their studies, which significantly affects their academic performance and overall well-being.
The lack of maintenance grants for students from less privileged backgrounds creates a significant financial burden, forcing them to prioritize survival over learning.
Bringing back means-tested grants would allow students to focus on their education without the constant pressure of financial hardship.
This would ensure that all students have equal opportunities to succeed in higher education regardless of their financial background.
