Tuition fees need to be freer

Today sees tuition fees rise to £9,535, up by a lowly £285 since 2017. This is a state-sponsored steal from universities. Since tuition fees were introduced and frozen in 1997, following the Dearing Report’s conclusion, they were capped at £1,000 (£1,975 in real terms). This rose over the years to their stand-still in 2017 at £9,250.
