The drifting on the conversation about what you take home reminded me - I caught part of the TB Big Conversation on the news last night. I didn't see it properly though and I think someone challenged him on how it was fair on poorer families that top-up fees had to be paid. He said something about graduates being taxed afterwards at an extra rate to pay but I'm not sure if it was the editing or my not seeing it properly or the usual case of a politician not answering the question set but I couldn't see the correlation.
Surely if a post-graduation tax is to be introduced, the government should fund the whole of the fees and then claim it back afterwards, leaving the student/their parents only living expenses to pay for?
Can someone clear it up for me?
