foxes_fan Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 Anyone here receive EMA payments for attending College? I’m just asking as I’m wandering if you have received your end of term bonus payment. I filled out the form and I’m eligible and the Payment is paid in July. Its mid July and I’m probably being paranoid but I haven't been paid yet. Just wandering if they have started paying them yet?
rossporterlc Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 i don't get it, so i do 5 subjects don't miss any lessons get 3As and get paid fcuk all!
Cat Burger Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 Was on £25 a year when I was at college, cheers EMA!

People who do not have that priveledge may be more likely to seek the immediate satisfaction of paid work as opossed to picking up an education post 16. Whether this works in practice I am not sure. As with most forms of wealth redistribution it is the lower middle classes who are 'hit' worse. Although I see the benefit of the scheme myself, this country has been riddled with problems of social immobility and anythig introduced to try and prevent this I am broardly in favour of.
rossporterlc Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 yeh but you get people going just to get EMA they can't be arsed with learning and are just there to put others off
rossporterlc Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 East Midlands Airport 145714[/snapback] class, nice one
TrickyTrev Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 yeh but you get people going just to get EMA they can't be arsed with learning and are just there to put others off 145711[/snapback] I didin't say the sytem was perfect, although if they had any brains they would realise they can earn a lot more than £30 doing paid work. Even the dossers are picking up some form of higher education and/or training which will be of benefit to them and the economy in the long run.

Guest Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 I think you will find it is NEMA! 145769[/snapback] Not round these parts.
toonboy Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 Not round these parts. 145771[/snapback] Hahaha i was waiting for that. yes it's in this county but does the name of an airport really matter?
Scow Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 Hahaha i was waiting for that. yes it's in this county but does the name of an airport really matter? 145778[/snapback] It does if you get it wrong.
Ricey Posted 28 July 2005 Posted 28 July 2005 EMA has advantages and disadvantages. It allows people from a less wealthy background still have money coming in while they learn, more wealthy students often get backed financially by their parents (not always obviously). From experience EMA causes so much seperation and bitterness, my girlfriend gets £20 a week at 6th form but all she gets us resentment from spoilt bitches who get treated to new cars and such like by their parents.

Posh kids moaning they don't get their £10 a week whilst simultaneously wearing ridiculously expensive clothes, iPod, Mobile phone and driving the car Daddy brought them for their birthday.
