Rejected petition Abolish or reduce student tuition fees
More details
Make all of the UK the same as Scotland by funding University Fees through taxation and industrial sponsorship. This would represent a huge investment in our future workforce and avoid the crippling debts imposed on young graduates.
If it is not economically feasible to abolish fees completely, at least they should be capped at an affordable level of under £3000 p.a.
A government review should be carried out to review alternatives to the high fees in England, and how Scotland and Wales successfully manage to fund Universities without fees or with lower fees. The costs to society of the debt burden and reduced spending power of graduates should also be taken into account.
