More than two months after they were announced, the government's student loan changes have now been reviewed and analysed in detail, with experts concluding they will be a gamechanger for higher education in England - but not in the way ministers hope.
The long-awaited response to the Augar review of post-18 education and funding, published in February, included 40-year payback periods and higher repayment terms.
While these are unlikely to stop middle-class teenagers from aiming for a degree, those from less advantaged backgrounds may hold back, imperilling the supply of graduates in key sectors such as teaching and nursing, experts have concluded.
Analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) found that lower-middle and middle income graduates will be hardest hit, paying £30,000 more than current graduates, spread over 40 years.
But graduates in the highest income brackets will pay £20,000 less as the progressive elements of the existing loan package are stripped away.
