You and Yours

Available for over a year

Should students pay more for their university education? The former BP boss, Lord Browne's review into higher education funding in England is published. Amongst the recommendations: scrapping the current limit on tuition fees of just over £3,000 a year and allowing universities to charge around £7,000. And making graduates pay a higher rate of interest on their student loans. Would that deter you or your children from going to university? In the current economic climate, is it the only way to pay for higher education? Or, if you get a high-paid job after graduating, should you pay more for the privilege of a top-class education?
