Is Britain's proposal to raise university fees justified?

A few weeks ago, thousands of university students took to the streets after the English government proposed increasing university tuition from about $2,000 to $5,000. The government claims that this increase in tuition fees is necessary in order to increase college resources, and develop the curriculum, for instance. However, if education is a right, then should the government be responsible to pay the fees? In contrast to America, in Europe, university education is heavily subsidized by taxpayers, which impacts the schools' independence and standards. On the other hand, if education is a privilege, then who should be responsible for paying for students' university education? Parents? If so, would this bill compromise the educational opportunities of students from working-class backgrounds to attend universities? The English government claims that it would provide loans to cover tuition costs to the poorest students. But how long would the financial aid package stretch?

    whilst i replaced into youthful,around 13% of scholars went to college and that they did no longer might desire to pay. Now assuming that those have been the 13% brightest pupils, i might say it replaced right into a physically powerful factor. That stated, some have been aided to the placement with the help of help of father and mom monies. at present, education has been devalued to such an volume that the better element of 60% bypass to Uni. a finished inbalance if a college education is meant to "advise" something. i think of elevating costs isn't the respond. the terrific option determination is a thank you to bypass and the only thank you to realize it relatively is to make each and all the pre uni checks.."A" ranges etc extra consistent with the time-honored they have been years in the past. in the event that they did this, then the government ought to pay for his or her education and a level might actual advise something. ( i latterly referred to as on 3 human beings, youthful, all with ranges, and all out of artwork!!)
