Students Who Dropped Out Still Pay | Manchester News

Over 190,000 students who dropped out of college before graduating are still saddled with £5.9 billion in student loans, paying back 9% of their income over £25,000—even though they never walked across the stage. Data from an online learning platform exposed the issue, sparking outrage and calls from 120 politicians for urgent reform. The problem centers on Plan 2 loans, whose repayment threshold has been frozen for years, trapping borrowers in debt despite not completing their degrees. With inflation rising, the government is capping interest at 6% from September, but critics demand a full review of the system. While officials argue most students finish, the mounting burden on those who didn’t is fueling a national debate over whether university is still worth the risk.
