She was dishonest!! Not to tell the up-and-coming students or present students that she was going to put up tuition fees.!! She wanted their votes ,and unfortunately the students got sucked in.. Many of the students may now not be able to continue with their course. What a waste of money. Just like labour a complete waste of time. I hope she’s proud of herself. She will put many students in a lot of debt for years to come.
I believe the fees only apply to new students going forward - not those already in univeristy. But yes, this is an issue. University loans are already a scam for young people who are not advised on the financial situation of university loans. 17/18 year olds given a 300 page document to sign that would require both a finance degree and a law degree to fully understand and told they sign or don't go to university is a huge issue. Not accurately educated on the outcomes of university or the financial implications.
They all pulled the ladder up behind themselves. My sister paid £3k per year in tuition and got something like a £3k bursary too in addition to loans etc. When I did it in 2012, it jumped to £9000 and they scrapped the bursary. As a result, I'd have an extra £30,000 of debt straight off the bat. As a result, she could pay hers off, whereas i'm not going to bother ever trying to do so.
Kind of hard to do when most jobs require a degree of some sort. Even flipping receptionist jobs require some sort of degree or 2 years of experience that school leavers don't have
"fees have not kept pace with inflation, leaving the sector struggling..." Tuition fees tripled in 2012 from £3K to £9K, shouldn't that be enough for universities to handle inflation?
They should have admitted to it but it's an insignificant increase. £750 on top of the current £27,000 for a bachelors is not going to be noticeable, especially over 20 years of repayments
So 'reform' means charge students more tuition, not to increase productivity, efficiency or teaching quality. It's like a car manufacturer saying they want to reform a highly malfunctioning inefficient car then hiking up prices and justifying it as reformation.
Universities are non profit. They've been losing their biggest source of funding, overseas students who pay more than double what British students pay and pay upfront
@ Don’t forget , the Classics, ancient languages, literature, history and philosophy all of which Boris Johnson is alleged to have studied at Oxford. What a genius. Me I just studied Aeronautical Engineering and Design which prevented me from ruining the country.

I am still paying off my student loan nearly 20 years after graduating. I have to say this pseudo anger about this rise is pathetic. I don't agree with tuition fees but it is the system we have now. A student borrows thousands upon thousands. An extra 200 plus quid a year will be paid off in 2 months at an average salary so 6 months overall. It is a drop in the ocean. Simmer down everyone. Bring back maintenance grants!!
Your course was £3k a year right? It's now £9.5k a year, for what is probably the exact same course and content. I pay £545 *every month* in student fees. As well as the price being 3x as expensive the real kicker is that interest is added to the debt every month (~6.5% I think). For most people, the interest is about the same as their salary reduction so in essence it's an additional lifetime tax of 9% added on top of income tax and national insurance
Tuition fees are going up less than 3%, which is the first increase in 8 years. For the Tories to call this an attack on students is ludicrous. Fees would have to be nearer £13K to make up for inflation. Labour are just trying to stabilise Universities, which are in danger of going bust. The Tories left this mess!
That's not the point..... This may well have had to come, but there has been no mention of increasing the fee prior to the election, prior to the budget. There was even talk to decreasing them at one point.
It makes me laugh with these Liebour goons where they say they are honest and transparent however, all they have done is lie and be deceitful. Do they really think they will get another term in office after shafting the farmer's, pensioners, students and the working class.
Someone on £1000 a day uncomfortable with minimum wage raised this is a Reform party view. I hope she's comfortable with 13 billion set aside for Blood scandal victims
Most universities don't even know what courses they are offering. They don't even know about regulations. They don't need increased tuition fees, students need clarity.
If fees are not substantially increased or the system is reformed, the country will increasingly rely on international students to fund higher education. The numbers could double. So it’s a case of picking one…increase fees substantially and make universities self sustaining or relax the rules to let money come in through international students. The reform and other right wing conservatives will criticise ‘legal’ immigration numbers because the system is by design incentivising more immigration.
Tories scorched earth policy is working to perfection and sky are pulling out all the stops to divide the country like the US .Ridge has become a crushing dissapointment very naive to take this path
She always comes across angry and aggressive, this matches her lies and labour views on the people oh wait zero rights and truths to the people... More lies and cons.
British academic now working for a US university. I’m afraid if anything this tuition increase is far too small. If UK students want universities to survive long enough for them to actually attend, they need to prepare for even larger tuition increases. The coalition government was extremely stupid not to link tuition to inflation. Everyone is now paying the price.
At the time the ConDems tripled tuition fees in 2011, had they linked it to inflation at that time, tuition fees would have been £4310 per year today - half of the current tuition fees (Source: BoE), so your point doesn’t hold water. Many universities are greedy and wasteful. They pay their chancellors and executives bloated sums of money.

Hang on though... Would the Conservatives have done otherwise?! They would have increased it further!
I wonder if she paid for the clothes she is wearing
She went to Oxford when tuition fees were 1k a year :) funny that
And daughter of immigrants Brexit Braverman went to the Sorbonne courtesy of the Erasmus scheme……drawbridge pulled!

Dishonesty comes so easy to these people.
Good luck trying to get a straight answer from a politician.
Forget Uni, waste of time. No guarantee of a job and lumbered with big debts. Get a job after A-Levels and get skills in the workplace.
Kind of hard to do when most jobs require a degree of some sort. Even flipping receptionist jobs require some sort of degree or 2 years of experience that school leavers don't have
Uni is not just about getting a job. It’s about being educated.
Shameful. I speak on behalf of everyone when I say that this is unsustainable and the education secretary, Reeves, and Starmer must resign

"fees have not kept pace with inflation, leaving the sector struggling..."

£3000 in 2012 would be about £4200 in 2024. So yeah, nothing to do with inflation.
Not the first time Labour have deceived the students, yet they still carry on falling for it.
When was the other time ?

She didn't make any decisions ,she did as her boss told her, alone she couldn't make any decisions
My son goes to university and complain about that his lectures only spend about 1hr teaching 3 days a week then left on thier own what B********'y
Maybe if there wasn't so many university administrators filling their own pockets, then it wouldn't cost so much to go.
Universities are non profit. They've been losing their biggest source of funding, overseas students who pay more than double what British students pay and pay upfront
Evidence for this?
make STEM degrees cheaper and other degrees more expensive
Good idea.
Why?
@ because the value to the economy of a technology degree for example far outweighs the value of an art degree

If the general election was next week, Labour wud not have got in. I have voted Labour for 43 years but never again….. disgusting 😮
This right-wing bunch are not really Labour.
Answer the bloody question!! 😡 I hate this government…
Add it to the pile of lies Labour said to get in power....lies & blame the Tories...seems to be all they know
wondering how do the labour voters feel now

What a joke. Not funny though. Absolutely disgusting
'Reform' the previous reform or the reforms before that ? When does this 'reform' get reformed ?
Was it a difficult decision to bank roll the union paymasters ? Or ignore the influx of hundreds of migrants evey day ..
Didn't raise tax or NI for the prolls, but have increased the cost of many other things to compensate ,,, what a bunch of *****

Nice try. The Tories TRIPLED tuition fees in a single year.
By further making education unattainable?

Those vastly underpaid, overworked academics really need those gilt-edged pensions. Be fair.
Fools that voted Labour
Pay up get into more debt 😂😂😂
Is a few hundred quid after 8 years, is that a lot?
Turkeys voting for christmas !
Another attack on working class. One more thing to make life harder.
More lies lectures barely teach more than 3 to 4hrs a week
What a beautiful interview. Ridges gone abit only fans on twitter

Get rid of old people
Get rid of farmers
Get rid of students
Whilst bring in all the immigrants with everything free.
Anyone happy?
The entire party keeps changing their clothes only
The buyer's remorse is strong. All we get are more migrants, that is guaranteed.
