The petition, set up by cash-saving guru Martin Lewis from Money Saving Expert.com and Conservative MP Justin Tomlinson, is calling for ‘buyers’ training’ for students to give them a understanding of personal finance and consumer rights before leaving school
"It's a national disgrace that in the 20 years since introducing student loans, we’ve educated our youth into debt when they go to university, but never about debt. We're a financially illiterate nation, with millions caught by misselling, overborrowing and being ripped off. Is it any surprise we’ve just had a debt imbued financial crisis. This must change."
