The Labour Party manifesto pledge to abolish tuition fees in England and reintroduce maintenance grants has been credited with motivating young people to get out and vote in last week's General Election.

So why are tuition fees and student debt such a concern? How does it all work, when do you have to repay and how could education be funded without them? Louise Cooper and guests explore student finance on today's programme and would like to hear your views.

Louise Cooper is joined by:

Sorana Vieru, Vice President, NUS
Rachel Glover, National Association of Student Money Advisors
Paul Johnson, Director, Institute of Fiscal Studies
Ben Southwood, Head of Research, Adam Smith Institute
Nick Hillman, Director of the Higher Education Policy Institute

Plenty to discuss and of course you can join in by calling 03700 100 444 between 1pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday 14 June. Standard geographic charges from landlines and mobiles will apply. Or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk with your thoughts and experiences.
