The Coalition Government is reforming higher education funding to ensure universities have the money they need.
Following the advice of the independent funding review, set up by the last Labour Government, the upper limit on tuition fees is being raised to £9,000. Students will pay nothing up front, and will only start paying the money back once they’ve left university and are earning over £21,000 a year.
Ben Howlett, Chairman of Conservative Future:
“I have been struck by the level of misinformation about what the Government is proposing. Students won’t pay anything up-front and won’t pay a penny until they earn £21,000. And when they do start paying, they will pay back £45 less every month than they do now, while the least well off will pay back less in total than they currently do."
“Students deserve better than the irresponsible myth-making we have seen. Conservative Future will be helping make the facts clear.”
