Plan 2 student loan interest rates capped at 6% in England
The UK government will cap interest rates on Plan 2 and postgraduate student loans at 6% for the 2026-27 academic year to protect graduates from inflation driven by the Iran war. This temporary measure follows previous caps and aims to prevent debt from spiraling, though critics call for broader systemic reforms.
