Writing on Twitter, the This Morning expert admitted the student loan changes are not the most important thing going on in the world at the moment.
But Martin wrote: "Please help.
"The news on Ukraine today, understandably means this student finance news is getting little airtime.
"Yet it is crucial young people and their parents understand these huge changes," he ended his post, before urging his followers to share the link.
He also shared a tweet from the early hours of this morning.
It read: "NEWS: The govt has announced huge changes to student finance for new 2023 starters in England including extending the repayment to 40yrs which will mean most still repaying into their 60s.
"My full analysis (Inc for those with existing loans)..." he finished, alongside a link.
The government's proposal will increase the cost of education for those attending university by lowering the repayment threshold and increasing the length of time a graduate can repay the loan.
However, the timing of his post proved to be contentious amongst his social media following, reports the Express.
Twitter user @craftyexpat wrote: "With all due respect Martin, there’s a war in Europe.
"While student finance is of course important, it might not be the most important thing today."
