Considering that most university courses last for three years, that will add up to £27,000 for the whole course, which is a lot of money for a student just out of college to have to pay back. If university fees were lowered again to £3000, that would make three year courses more affordable at £9000 therefore more people will have qualifications that will benefit the country.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2012-11-14T09:43:03.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:28:35.570Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:39:56.276Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2012-11-14T09:43:03.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
