Mr Q Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Universities should be allowed to decide what they charge students under a radical shakeup of higher education which would see the existing cap on tuition fees lifted. A new system of financing universities will allow for a 10% increase in student places to meet rising demand for a degree-level education, the Browne review proposes. Graduates will start repaying the cost of their degrees when they start earning £21,000 a year, up from £15,000 under the current system, the review recommends. A tapered levy on institutions charging more than £6,000 per year will ensure those that charge the most contribute more to supporting the poorest students. Universities that wish to charge more will be required to demonstrate improved standards of teaching and fair admission. http://www.guardian.co.uk/education/2010/oct/12/browne-review-universities-set-fees And guess what, Clegg and Cable agree with this sh*t!! Utter toss pot. How on earth is this the best way to fix "broken Britain", ostracizing people from less well off backgrounds is only going to further the problems of the country. How will it even bring economic growth?! Well, back to the days where university was for a certain group of people. I actually cannot stand these bastards, I hope the lib dem party never sees another day after the next election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Awesome Kong Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Utter bull sh*t. This wont effect me until my children are at an age where they will go uni. They take the f*ck*ng piss! How can this happen, from university being a free education to being 6/7 grand a year? f*ckED! / Lib Dems gonna be f*cked in the next election.

Abdul Osman Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Seems fair to me. Universities choose what to charge and there will be more opportunity for more people to go to university with a 10% increase, where is your point?

Angelo Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Not overly opposed to this tbh. We've had it incredibly cheap in this country for a world class education. It's not sustainable. Student loans also rise proportionately. University is not meant for everyone. / Nick Clegg is a c*nt. Edit: Justin GTFO about whining that University should be free. You c*nt.

Guest Awesome Kong Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 TBH, I don't mind paying more tax to support people aiming to do something with their lives tbh. Even without the fees, students still went into debt with their living costs. But now, the debt is higher with the addition of the fees. This unlimited sh*t is waste, so Oxbridge gonna charge ott prices when there could be people who are ultra smart who are not wealthy but get straight A*s but can't afford the fees there, even with financial help & grants? That ok yeah? Anyway, the f*ck*ng foreign students pay lots anyway and there are lots of them about in universities. BUT I do feel that their should be certain courses that should drop the fees, depending on the requirements the country needs in that moment in time.

Why should something which is going to exponentially increase your earning power and benefit YOU be free at the expense of the taxpayer/everyone else. How do you think this will be funded? So we shouldn't pay for GCSEs and A-Levels or B-TECs or HNDs or NVQs etc etc because they will increase your earning power and benefit YOU whilst at the expense of the taxpayer/everyone else. Makes no f*ck*ng sense. How do you think they will be funded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These fees aren't based on how hard you work, they cut people off before they even get there. If you are from a poor family, you aren't thinking long term that going to uni to be saddled with this debt is a good thing. You are going to think short term, and believe leaving education earlier is the only real option for you. That or, the poorest go to the cheapest uni's, the richest go to the best, and society is cut neatly into little groups. How does that fix Britain's broken society? / Life is unfair, so people should just deal with it, great attitude. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(FAO Angelo) So you're saying if your rich then you have the right to go Oxbridge, yeah? Not if you are making straight A*? No. Let me elaborate for you. Low fees = budget constraints and less endowment for a university. Less endowment = less purchasing power and ability to allocate funds where they are needed, i.e. LECTURERS/RESEARCH/INFRASTRUCTURE = You get what you pay for. You cannot expect elite institutions with world class standards to charge the same as your ex polytechnic. You're living in a fantasy world if you think this.

How does that fix Britain's broken society? / Life is unfair, so people should just deal with it, great attitude. I don't really care what people do when they drink, my point was more that spending 3 years studying media at thames valley isn't really a productive use of time in most cases, and why should people's income tax go towards funding what is basically a 3 year holiday for a lot of people. Nobody is saying this is a perfect solution. But it's also not fair to expect taxpayers to pay for people to go to uni who quite frankly shouldn't be going. They should introduce a scholarship system, like in America, so people from less well off backgrounds who are academically (or otherwise) gifted get partial/full scholarpships plus grants. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't see that pretty much all the cuts introduced by the Tories so far pander to the better off in society I don't know what to say to you. Cameron should come out to the next conference playing Get Rich or Die Tryin because it's pretty obvious to me that's his approach to fixing 'Broken Britain'.
