Policy passed at the Ordinary General Meeting on 2004-11-13
NPC is opposed to commercial rates of student loans for undergraduates, on the grounds that these debts, when carried over into postgraduate study, act as a deterrent. Real-terms interest on student loans could hit postgraduates harder than most students as interest will continue to accrue during postgraduate study.
