Background
Many Plan 2 graduates repay their loans for decades while their balances continue to grow due to high interest rates and frozen repayment thresholds. This disproportionately affects middle earners, reduces take-home pay during a cost of living crisis, and makes the system feel unfair and unclear. A review would help ensure the system remains sustainable and aligned with its original intent.
