Maharey fails students again after years of promises

The latest student support review offers no new solutions from the Government, and is a huge disappointment for students who have been waiting years for the report.

"They have waited four years for this and it offers no solutions and nothing that we didn't already know. It is absolute puffery, all words and no action and students can see through that.
