Why your views matter
In his speech in September 2020, the Prime Minister announced plans to introduce a Lifelong Loan Entitlement from 2025 as part of the Lifetime Skills Guarantee.
The Lifelong Loan Entitlement will provide individuals with a loan entitlement to the equivalent of four years of post-18 education to use over their lifetime. It will make it easier for adults and young people to study more flexibly – allowing them to space out their studies, transfer credits between institutions, and partake in more part-time study.

We’d like your views on the introduction of the lifelong loan entitlement as announced by the Prime Minister in his skills speech in September 2020.
From 2025, the lifelong loan entitlement will provide individuals with a loan entitlement to the equivalent of 4 years of post-18 education to use over their lifetime. It will be available for both modular and full-time study at higher technical and degree levels (levels 4 to 6), regardless of whether they are provided in colleges or universities.
We’re seeking views on our ambition, objectives and coverage, together with aspects such as:
- modularity
- maintenance
- quality provision
