| Students Demand Value for Money Over Fee Increases |
| 04/04/2007 |
| Students are willing to pay up to £6,800 a year in fees for top universities, but they would not tolerate big fee increases from less prestigious institutions, a survey revealed yesterday. The government is due to review the current £3,000 cap on tuition fees in England in 2009 and several of the most popular universities are already pressing to be able to levy higher fees. A Guardian survey revealed in January that vice-chancellors believe fees will have to rise to £6,000 a year to cover teaching costs. Today's survey suggests that the majority of universities would deter students if they put up their tuition fees by anything like that amount.
