What it asks
Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to completely abolish the student loan system and establish non-repayable maintenance grants pegged the National Living Wage. Using devolved powers over higher education and student support under the Education (Scotland) Act 1980 and the Scotland Act 1998, the Government must replace all Student Awards Agency Scotland (SAAS) living-cost loans with direct state grants, eliminate humiliating household means-testing for essential support, and guarantee a debt-free education for all Scottish students.
