Letter: Granddaughter’s battle with university fees highlights national concern

This from Annie Walker, Shanklin. Ed


After that excellent letter by Hans Bromwich yesterday, I’d just like to add that my granddaughter, although she was accepted by a college after really good A-level results, has decided she can’t afford to go to university.

The student loan will cripple her.

So she’s working in a local cafe and has given up her university place.

Rishi Sunak will never have to face a situation like that in his family.
