Strongly agree

No, and higher education should be free for everyone

This answer aligns closely with the Liberal Democrats' long-term goals for the education sector.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

While the Liberal Democrats are likely to support increased regulation of for-profit universities, especially in terms of transparency and fairness, they might view holding them financially accountable for student loan defaults as too narrow an approach to the broader issue of student debt and education funding.

Disagree

Yes, make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered

While the Liberal Democrats are in favor of reforming the student loan system to make it more equitable, making liability proportional to expected income might be seen as overly complex and not addressing the root issues of education funding and student debt.

Disagree

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

The Liberal Democrats have generally supported the idea that education should be a public good and have advocated for policies that reduce the financial burden on students, suggesting they would disagree with placing full responsibility on students for their financial outcomes post-graduation.

Strongly disagree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported the idea of accessible education for all, advocating for fairer funding and investment in education rather than punitive measures against institutions.
