Being a student, naturally I think they should. Although at the same time I don't think it's fair that tax payers with no intention of going into higher education should pay for other people to. I think as a middle ground fees should at least be reduced (at the moment they're roughly £3500 per year and most courses last 3 years or more). What's your opinion?
If you can prove that the course you are doing will benefit society then yes but if you only go to fill time because you don't won't to work then no.It was all free when I was at school , a few years ago now.I do think it is unfair that students do have to pay for worthwhile courses.Like I said I know too many students who do history or something or an ologyand you ask them what they intend doing with it and they cannot answer you I am afraid my husband pays enough tax as it is without paying someone to go on in education just for a lark or because thier brothers and sister went and beleave me there are plenty of them around.Good luck with what ever you decide to do.xx.
Considering education is underfunded in all areas, you need to think about the effects that scrapping tuition fees will have on university education. One example is that there would be fewer lecturers and possibly less specialist lecturers. What about the significant cuts that could appear in grants and loans? I can see why you would want fees to be scrapped, so would I in an ideal world. It's nice to think that we could have free education like we have between the ages of 4 and 18/19, but I think we should learn to give back to society and pay for our higher education. After all, we'll make all the money back with the qualifications that get us better and higher-paid jobs!
