Access to Learning application refused

He was starting to fall behind his classmates, who can afford to take unpaid…

And i was just wondering if anyone could tell me if the quantitative easing measure enacted by the bank of england is going to up the cpi/rpi for this month? The rate was otherwise set to go negative, so is this quantitative easing really bad timing for students with loans?
