We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Scrap EMA and allow students access to job seekers allowance. More details
Submitted by Stephen Booth – Deadline to sign up by: 21 January 2010 – Signatures: 2
More details from petition creator
It has been reported that Education Maintenance Allowance may be scrapped due to disproportionate administrative costs. Since Job Seekers Allowance exists and will continue scrapping EMA and opening up JSA to students will leverage economies of scale and allow students to get more at no extra cost to the public purse.
