Background
The interest on some student loans is extortionate which means that those who require loans are amassing huge depts. People will be charged for long periods of their lives, often paying back far more than they ever borrowed.
Higher education should be accessible to all without the worry of being charge extortionate amounts for the rest of their lives.
