This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition Abolish university tuition fees or restore to pre election levels
More details
Education is a right, not a privilege. Raising it to £9000 will deter some deserving teenagers from lower income and middle income families. There is still all the other expense to pay for as well eg board, lodging, travel, clothes , books, equipment. MPs who legislated this increase did not pay for their education and probably got university grants free. Non graduates need graduates and vice versa. A hospital porter's child when ill needs to see a doctor and a pharmacist. They are taught by teachers (graduates). Everyone needs trained non graduates to build cars and build
houses. This government divides and rules.
