Sarah Teather Maiden speech on tuition fees

E-mail Print PDF

 

Uni Fees: Sarah Teather paid £0 but you pay £27000.

Time is fast running out for the LIB DEMS to decide which way they will be voting on Thursday 9th December on the issue of Uni student Fees.

The article below highlights the hypocrisy of the LIB DEMS, when in opposition it is easy to make promises because you think you will gain cheap political points to make sure that you get elected, but now that the boot is on the other foot, it turns out that sleeping with the devil portrays life in another perspective.

People should not make promises and sign pledges and then as soon as you are in the driving seat you forget the people who put you in a postion to make the changes you promised, That my friends is the proverbial two finger salute, I'm all right Jack!! to your supporters.

why did Nick Clegg cross the road? Because he forgot he had pledged not to.

 

Sarah Teather used her maiden speech to highlight the plight of students who have accumulated debt, now her party is multiplying the debt many times over, they are going to TREBLE the amount of uni fees payable from just £3000 per year to OVER £9000 a year.

Many students who she claimed to care so much about in her maiden speech would now have a debt of at least £40000, when accommodation and living costs are factored in.

She acknowledges the fact that she received her university education at NIL cost to her as she was awarded a grant to cover the costs.

Some how this does not seem to be fair, but they probably don't care  now.

Newest MP lambasts tuition and top-up fees in maiden speech

3.55.09pm GMT Thu 27th Nov 200 3

The Liberal Democrats' newest MP Sarah Teather, today used her Maiden speech in the House of Commons to make an impassioned plea against tuition and top-up fees.

As the youngest of all 659 MPs in the House of Commons, Ms Teather used her own experience of student debt to highlight the fears of thousands of students facing the prospect of massive debts from huge university fees.

Sarah Teather said:

"There are many issues I intend to champion during my time here. Funding for local schools, the need for more police and GPs, campaigning to make the local council more responsive to local needs. But today, in this debate I want to raise an issue of great importance to my constituents - tuition and top-up fees.

"Although the Liberal Democrats are united in opposing these fees, there is great debate about the issue in the other parties too. I do not see it as a party-political matter.

"It is an issue that is particularly dear to my heart. As the youngest MP, I am almost certainly the onlyMP still paying off her student loan. I am aware that I was still very lucky in that when I went to university I received a full grant. I graduated before tuition fees were introduced.

"Students beginning GCSEs and hoping to go to university in the future could face extraordinary levels of debt - £33,000 according to Barclays Bank. That is more than my parents' mortgage.

"I feel intense frustration when we talk of widening participation, only then to debate introducing a policy which would deter the very students we hope to attract. Fear of debt is as real to many people as real debt.

All the evidence suggests that fear of debt will deter those from lower income families and ethnic minority communities. This is particularly the case for Muslims - a large community in my constituency - where attitudes to debt are very different.

; font-size: 13px;">"Fundamentally, I believe that this is about whether we want to encourage a world class education system, or a class based education system where students choose universities according to their ability to pay, and universities are judged on the level of their fees.

"That is not a system I am comfortable with. It is an issue of great concern to my constituents, and many millions of people around this country. I hope honourable members will oppose the measures when the time comes."
