The shadow education secretary, Laura Trott, said: \u201cThese proposals do not go far enough and they confirm Labour have no serious plan to stop graduates being ripped off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Graduates with plan 2 loans pay interest rates based on the retail prices index (RPI) measure of inflation \u2013 currently 3.2% \u2013 plus up to 3%, when they earn more than \u00a329,385. Current students on plan 2 and plan 3 loans face an interest rate of RPI plus an additional 3% while they are studying. The latest RPI figure is due to be published on 22 April.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Plan 2 covers loans taken out for undergraduate courses and Postgraduate Certificates of Education (PGCE) since 1 September 2012 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/uk\/wales\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Wales<\/a>, and between 1 September 2012 and 31 July 2023 in England.

She said ministers had \u201cwoken up to the unfairness of student loans and are taking action to prevent our debts from spiralling further out of control\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">She added: \u201cFor too many years we\u2019ve been forced to weather these economic shocks and finally a government have listened to our concerns. But this change cannot come alone. For most graduates, the impact on their day-to-day lives is felt through the repayment thresholds, which are being frozen for three years and will get very close to the minimum wage by 2030.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cWe still need to see the chancellor stick by the terms we signed at 17 years old and raise the threshold in line with our incomes. The government have said they will look into the unfairness of the student loan system and we will continue to hold them to that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Tom Allingham, of Save the Student, a student money website, said he was glad to see the government act before a likely rise in inflation but he called for \u201cfar more substantial changes that create a truly fair system\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Oliver Gardner, the founder of the Rethink Repayment campaign group, also welcomed the cap but said it was \u201cby no means a solution to the student loans crisis\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Nick Hillman, a director at the Higher Education Policy Institute thinktank, said the measure was a stopgap that was unlikely to assuage the concerns of many graduates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Keir Starmer has previously told MPs he would look at ways to make the student loans system in England fairer. He made the promise after Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, said the system was \u201cat breaking point\u201d and had become a \u201cdebt trap\u201d for graduates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Kate Ogden, senior research economist at the Institute for Fiscal Studies said the cap would benefit higher-earning graduates who were subject to an interest rate of up to RPI plus 3%.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">\u201cIt will only reduce actual loan repayments in the long run from the roughly third of graduates that can expect to repay their plan 2 loans in full. It will do nothing for graduates who are lower-earning currently, who will still see their interest rate set at RPI and therefore likely below the new cap.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/money\/2026\/apr\/07\/uk-government-caps-student-loan-interest-rates\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millions of graduates will have the interest on their student loans capped at 6% from September as a temporary measure to protect them from the risk of rising inflation driven by war in the Middle East.
