There is a vast amount of confusion surrounding the changes to student tuition fees from 2012. There will have been a large number of Sefton students who collected their AS Level results last Thursday and who are still confused about options that face them over the coming 12 months. There are numerous questions that parents and students have not, in my opinion, been fully and fairly informed about or had answered.
I have seen some detailed explanations that actually complicate the system further. However, Martin Lewis, made famous for his consumer campaigns on morning television, outlines the system in the most simplistic way I have seen - from a completely non-political view point. This is really good stuff, explaining exactly who pays what and when - it's time people started to understand the truth about the structure of the system.
Politics of the system aside - because, in truth, that it is what's clouding this very important issue for those 16/17 year old individuals and their families - I would recommend anyone in Sefton thinking about university in the future to view this clip.
Martin Lewis, journalist and consumer campaigner who created MoneySavingExpert.com, the UK's biggest money website, speaks about the changes to the student tution fee system.
