Why is it that a lot of teenagers from a working class background don't know how the finance system works? The way it is, people with potential to do excellently in University can (according to many, many discussions on TSR regarding fees) dismiss it immediately as being too expensive - they don't know how the system works, how it isn't very expensive at all and how much support they can get. 2. Will the government raise awareness on these issues and how will they do that? Show less »

Doing this by an independent organisation. these are the two biggest concerns that face the UK's higher education system Show less »
