Next Thursday, MPs will vote on the Government's plans to treble Tuition Fees.
I hope that as many MPs as possible will vote against these unnecessary, unfair plans.
They are cutting money for university teaching by 80%, much more than other services, and are making graduates pay the whole cost of most degrees. Students will be forced to choose the cheapest course, not what’s best for them - and will be paying back debts for 30 years.
The plans are bad for universities and not the road we should be going down. The Labour Party will be voting again the plans. Labour would avoid the big cuts in the university teaching grants and share the costs of higher education fairly.
We are not against fees ... in fact we introduced them many years ago... we are against such massive increases that will turn higher education into only available to those who are wealthy
Cllr Ian Robertson
