How Telford students are getting support with cost-of-living challenges
The cost-of-living crisis is impacting students and a Shropshire education chief says it's vital support is given.
According to new research from higher education software provider TechnologyOne, seven in ten UK students have considered dropping out of university or higher education as the cost of living increases.
And more than half of students (54 per cent) claimed that rising costs are “ruining” their further education experience.
As the challenges continue, Telford College says it is providing more support than ever to help students continue their education.
The level of financial support given to students over the past year has risen by around 30 per cent through a combination of bursaries towards course fees, public transport passes, and subsidised meals.
