I've no issue with students paying back for their uni education, a fair way imo rather than everyone else paying for it. As you say it's only paid back at a percentage over a certain amount of earnings (9% of outstanding debt when you hit 28k or thereabouts) I could count on one hand the people from my school who went onto uni but nowadays it's the norm so dilutes the talent pool imo. There's also the cost of accommodation and living if they don't qualify for a grant and for a couple of years we were paying over £1.2k pcm just for accommodation. As I say, I have no issues with those who benefit paying back providing those who can't afford it are subsidised to go in the first place. *eta, not talent pool, more the prestige of going.
