It looks like future students may have the burden of paying double the amount for tuition fee's if Lord Browne's suggestion of increases in university fee's. This creating massive change in the way higher education is run or approached in England.
From Lord Browne's blueprint there is a suggestion to allow universities to charge whatever they want, unlimted tuition fee's. This creating a split between those than can and can't afford university. For students this could be the line between forgetting about going to university all together as they don't want to be in even more debt than some are right now..for example many students today come out of university with debts up to £21,000 at least and if that is to double...well I know i would not even think about it, coming from not exactly a very wealthy background compared to others; whose parents can afford to let them go.
This increase in fees could decrease the amount of students going to university in the years and also this could risk the runnings of university aswell! Just think about it? University are only able to run by the amount of students which they teach, they run by the tuitions fees yes..however if the number in students that have regaully attended univeristy across the UK drops dramatically this could lead to loss in jobs for lectures and other memebers of staff across univerity and in some cases some univerity have expressed a fear of shutting completely. University could go out of buisness for the first time, now that is quite a a scary thought.
This new blue print seems like a disaster waiting to happen, we shall just see how it goes over the next year and see how much of a increase or decrease in students there are in the following years to come!!
