Unlike in many countries, even Brits from poorer backgrounds have an opportunity to attend university if they have the academic talent, with the Government providing student loans to those who need them. 

But these loans exclude the UK’s poorest faith community, Muslims, because they charge interest, which goes against the teachings of Islam. Interest is seen as unethical and often exploitative because, typically, it means a net transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich.

That’s why we need alternative student finance now.
