It doesn't help that students can get 9k + bursaries in goverment loans for their education for ridiculus courses such as warehouse management and david beckham studies. And for us their isn't anything.
It gives loans. The government however only gives the universities money to run courses that they perceive as useful (engineering, medicine, science...); the "ladies basket weaving" courses are run entirely on student fees (borrowed and they have to give back).
There are serious problems with the loans system of-course, and I'm sure student pilots would like a chance to take one of those loans out, but the government isn't subsidising most of those courses beyond the loan interest via the student loan company.
