The Government is encouraging wider participation in higher education and providing help with student support so that students are not prevented from entering or staying in higher education because of cost. The new fees arrangements introduced in 2006/07 mean no student has to pay fees in advance; a loan for fees is available to those deemed eligible for support. The ‘Aim higher’ campaign has been launched by the DfES to outline the benefits to students of higher education; see the
‘Aim Higher’ website.
Copies of the booklets are available from Student Finance Service also. We are supplementing and complementing this initiative at local level.
