Introduce a cap on Postgraduate Educational Courses
We believe that the financial structure postgraduate education courses should match that of undergraduate courses to ensure that there is a maximum limit that can be charged for a course. We are advocating introducing a cap on UK higher education master's courses.
Some jobs are already favouring candidates with further levels of educational attainment, i.e. those who are able to afford the extortionate fees of Master's/PhD programme. We believe not only should higher levels of education be encouraged nonetheless, but people should not be excluded from this opportunity as a result of their financial situation.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
