Demonstrators against the government's
proposal of top-up fees in 2004
(PA/EMPICS)
Political parties
Labour brought in tuition fees and they will carry on with them
if they stay in government. They will also raise the cost of tuition
through top-up fees from £1,125 per year to up to £3,000
per year. Maintenance grants will not come back.
The Conservatives would scrap tuition fees, increase the amount
of student loan you could borrow and bring back the maintenance
grant to help out students from a less well-off background.
If the Liberal Democrats get into government, they have promised
to completely abolish ALL tuition fees. You won’t pay anything
either during or after your course – just like it is in Scotland
now. |
