repayment

英 [riː'peɪm(ə)nt; rɪ'peɪm(ə)nt] 美[rɪ'pemənt]

There's a lot for students to complain about: the repayment threshold for paying back loans will be frozen for five years, meaning that lower-paid graduates have to start repaying their loans; and maintenance grants have been replaced by loans, meaning that students from poorer backgrounds face higher debt than those with wealthier parents.
