by Evangeline BirchamI have gone into further educaion but do not recieve EMA as my parents earn above the limit to recieve it. Many students that go to the 6th form that i am studying at, also do not recieve EMA, we all think that people who choose to study in further education believe that we should recieve some money as EMA (£15 – £20) This would help most of the students as it is very hard to find jobs with the current recession that is taking place.
Ah, the self-entitlement that comes with being a student coupled with the self-entitlement that comes with being British. What a potent combination.

The thing is that EMA assumes that parents of children in higher education will help them out and so the more moeny they earn the morer they can give to their children. Obviously this is not always the case and some parents can’t or sadly won’t help. However as College/Uni courses are a Monday to Friday thing what is there to stop you getting a weekend job?
Yeah, but the Government shouldn’t be expected to dish out £15-20 a week just because someone has decided to go to College. EMA to children in families who are less well off makes sense, because if they can’t afford to go to College that stifles their prospects.
Catherine reckons:
You won’t need that free-money incentive if the “compulsory national service” people get their way.
