With a week to go until the university tuition fees debate, a St Ninian’s High School student is urging politicians to consider carefully their proposed introduction.
Tynwald will decide whether to support plans to make all Isle of Man students pay towards university education courses.
It’s proposed all will be charged £2,500 with means-tested contributions on a rising scale for those whose parents have an income of £80,000 or more.
If that happens, year 13 pupil Jack Gibney is concerned many students will no longer be able to afford to go:
Manxman assists yacht in distress
Steam Packet 'well prepared' for TT
Driver arrested after going against one-way system on Mountain Road
Ban for Marine Drive motorist who was drunk behind wheel
TT site to open after poor weather causes delays
Suspended sentence for motorist who drove whilst three times over the limit
