We’re all students, and while it’s costing every single one of us I don’t think there’s anybody who could say that it wasn’t an investment. But could we still say this is the fees were increased? A small increase is understandable, it’s not something I’d be encouraging but it wouldn’t be the end of the world. However, practically doubling the fees isn’t justifiable.
While we all know that a degree is something worth having, it is arguable if it’s worth over £30,000 of debt. The students will still be paying off their loans by the time their grandkids go to uni, and if they wanted to go on to post-grad education the amount of debt they would be in isn’t even worth thinking about! If the fees increase by this much then many people who want to study quite simply won’t be able to afford it.
