Alex Peters-Day, General Secretary of the London School of Economics Student Union, contacted me to say it will be , with a sign that says "condoms protect students, students CONDEMNS negligence."

There is no doubt that condoms effectively protect students - and everyone. But you have neglected the students of the coalition?

Last year, as part of the spending review, the ministers announced that they would get rid of the maintenance of Education (SOE), a weekly payment of between £ 10 and £ 30 for 16 - to 18 years whose family income was £ 30.800. The grant was ineffective in encouraging poor students to stay in education, the ministers said. A substitution pattern of scholarships for poor students administered by the universities was published in March, but the abolition of the EMA was seen by many as an act of negligence of the poorest students.

Under the new system of higher tuition, prospective students should be more time and money with an interest rate higher than what they did in the past but if it can be called "negligence" is for the discussion. Many of the graduates actually pay much less per year per month under the new system. Martin Lewis useful calculations show that if a graduate earns £ 40 000 in the current system, to pay £ 2,250 per year and £ 187.50 per month of their payroll. Under the new system, you have to pay £ 1,710 per year and £ 142.50 per month.
