EMA
- Thread starter Massive Attack
- Start date
because not everyone can afford to learn
the OP may not need it but a hell of a lot of people do ,
the majority of my college wudnt of been able to learn without the help for transport to and from college/books/equipment etc
Still havn't recieved any :s
Waiting for a big bulk of it in a week or two
Only get £10 a week
Hey atleast your bonuses arent cut, you still get the £100 every time
In that case then the payment should be made of vouchers for equipment/transport ect not cold hard cash
WELCOME TO OVERCLOCKER'S FORUM'S
Ok then to OP

EMA = Entertainment Maintanence Allowance, thats what i used mine for, Car Audio 4tw
Get a job you lazy bums
(ooh i said 'bum' is that allowed?)
Well considering im learning in a garage from 7:30am till 5pm mon - fri, i dont think i should have to work and i get EMA. I think people who actually want to go out and learn should get it. Its Dole bums who shouldn't get the Money. People who sit on their fat arses not even trying to get Jobs, makes me sick.
All this means is the people who planned to continue their education anyway regardless of EMA will be getting free money for something they would have done anyway. While people who don’t care about getting qualifications will now stay on for the sake of an easy life and getting paid not to work.
It’s like the student loans, if you r parents don’t earn much you don’t have to pay them back. Well when I was at college my parents earnt too much so I had to get a repayable loan, even though I had to pay it back myself and my parents didn’t help at all! Absolutely stupid.
Oh and all this about allowing people from poor families to go to college is irrelevant. That’s what the non-repayable £3000 maintenance loan that they get given each year is for.
All that’s going to happen is more and more people will go on to further education now, meaning more people will have higher qualifications, which will significantly reduce the value of having a qualification since everyone will have one.

well ocuk have done it again, congrats on hijacking my thread guys if i wanted your opinion on it i would have asked, i directed the OP at new college starters like myself who have applied for ema, as to the comment about my comp spec i had a gap year from school and went out to work i saw how crap it was working in the low end jobs so decided to get educated, i should have know better than to post it on here
Always the same on here.
Im guessing you have already filled your EMA form in and sent it off?
Still haven't recived mine.
Nope. You need 100% attendance/ good behavior etc. in order to get your weekly EMA.
