英国冻结学生贷款偿还门槛, 迫使更多毕业生尽管收入低却提前偿还。
UK freezes student loan repayment threshold, forcing more graduates to repay sooner despite low incomes.
从2027年4月开始, 英国政府已冻结第2计划借款人的学生贷款偿还门槛为29 385英镑, 这意味着更多毕业生将因工资提高而提前开始偿还贷款。
The UK government has frozen the student loan repayment threshold at £29,385 for Plan 2 borrowers starting April 2027, meaning more graduates will begin repaying loans sooner due to rising wages.
这一举动是劳工局更广泛改革的一部分,其中包括与通货膨胀挂钩的学费,它可能迫使低收入毕业生偿还债务,尽管收入接近最低工资。
The move, part of Labour’s broader reforms including inflation-linked tuition fees, could push low-income graduates into repayment despite earning near minimum wage.
NUS警告说,这将增加财政压力,特别是因为通货膨胀和生活费用上升,敦促重新考虑让毕业生在进入就业市场后有时间稳定下来。
The NUS warns this will increase financial pressure, especially as inflation and living costs rise, urging reconsideration to allow graduates time to stabilize after entering the job market.
