Proposal to lift cap on fees



So it seems that the powers that be have decided that as the next decade is already set to be plagued with debt for those already resident in the workplace, why not take it one step further and ruin the financial future of a generation of students.

There is currently a cap on tuition fees which means that institutions can't charge full time, native English students over £3,145 a year. However Vice Chancellors across the country have decided that they need more money to run their establishments and want to target their students to get it. Most Universities seem to be in agreement that they should be allowed to charge between £5000 and £7000 per year, however, some are leaning more towards figures up to £20,000.

Any figure in this range would undoubtedly deter a huge amount of aspiring teenagers from entering higher education, dramatically crushing the career potential of an entire generation.

  1. Oh trust me, I agree with you in everything you say. Those people, the ones who want to increase the price of tuition fees, they don't care about us. All they care about is making money for their own pockets.
