One in four who received free school meals would not be able to get loans under proposal, analysis finds

Almost one in four recent undergraduates who received free school meals (FSMs) at the age of 16 would not be able to get student loans under the government’s proposals, the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has revealed.
