Broke & Broken, NUS’ critique of the current system, was launched at this year’s higher education summit in September. The report looks at the faults in the current system of top-up fees and how it fails students.

As well as highlighting the system’s failings, NUS has outlined the need for an alternative, fairer funding model. And that’s where you come in.

NUS is now collecting views, opinions and ideas from students’ unions and individual students.  If you want to have your say, you can fill in this short consultation paper.

If you are a student or student officer, you may also be able to attend various NUS events this term, where there will be discussions around the development of the policy. Contact your students’ union for more information.

Thousands of students will continue to struggle with rising debts and living costs if the system remains unchanged – it’s time to make that change.
