The increase in fees was made to make up for the cuts made to all sectors apart from the the NHS state to make up for the failures of labour

All other compulsory and important sectors of education remained free and perfectly functional

The problem with universities is the fact that the courses the facilities and the institutions themselves are incredibly expensive to run and that’s not to mention that unlike all other sectors of education it’s completely optional and with the conservative stance on government and state being about a small state and low tax they weren’t going to increase tax as they’d lose alit of their votes

Remember tuition fees aren’t like a loan and you are only required to pay them after earning a certain amount plus if can’t pay it back after so long I believe 30 years the state pays the rest

I am certain as well that if the trend of our economic growth continues we will see slashes in tuition fees but schools and colleges are far more important in shaping the future and ideas of children so should be the main focus as of now

Also with the current Tory government being very liberal they are pro education as one of the main liberal beliefs is equality of opportunity through better education which many of them have stated is their goal
