Welsh Government calls for urgent action to protect student loan borrowers
The Welsh Government has outlined new measures to support student loan borrowers and has urged the UK Government to take further action to ensure repayment terms remain fair and affordable. Ministers are calling for a freeze on student loan interest rates and a review of repayment thresholds, warning that current arrangements risk placing additional pressure on graduates during a period of high inflation and increased living costs.

Welsh Ministers emphasised their commitment to safeguarding learners and ensuring that higher education remains accessible, particularly for those from lower‑income backgrounds.
