EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance)

[AgnesIO]

Im not being rude, but imo EMA is unfair.

I mean say your family is earning:

49,999 pounds - you get mininum EMA
BUT, if your family gets:
50,001 pounds - you don't get it?

I do not know the exact rates but that is an example.

I also think making people who are more fortunate than others have to pay large amounts of money for trips, yet other people get them free? That doesn't work imo.

THE WHOLE EMA SYSTEM MAKES ME GO HULK STYLE HURGHHH >: (

nah really though its ********.

[Caution]

The EMA system is totally wrong. I think everyone, apart from the wealthy(£60,000+) should get it, or no-one get it. I'll be able to claim it when I'm 16(assuming it's still available), so I'm not jealous or anything. Saying that, I wouldn't have any purpose for it really. I'm basing it on the fact that some people do need it.
