A student finance national education programme

In partnership with the National Education Opportunities Network (NEON), Universities UK is calling for a student finance national education programme to ensure prospective and current students are provided with the financial information they need to make informed choices when considering higher education.

1. the government and information providers should work together to develop an industry standard of core messages to make information more coherent
   
   
2. teachers, schools, parents and carers must be supported in providing financial advice to students
   
   
3. a 'student lifecycle' approach is needed to ensure information is available from the moment an individual considers applying, throughout their study and after they graduate
   
   
4. a holistic approach should be taken to reflect the increasingly diverse needs and circumstances of prospective and current students
   
   
5. the government and information providers must work together in developing a collaborative strategy to ensure all potential students have a level of knowledge that enables them to make the right choices
