Yes, but only for degrees which are for jobs such as Nursing, Ambulance Service, and Policing. However, only reduce for other degrees.

 @9L757Y5answered…4wks4W

I feel that tuition fees should be abolished for citizens of the UK, however I feel that it should not be so easy to get into University. Every man and his dog has a degree in something or another these days, meaning that the value of a degree is diminished. There is so much competition for graduate jobs it is not worth applying for them. Degrees should be for the best achieving acadmics - OR for those who are GENUINELY pursuing a particular career that only a degree will unlock. Not just something to do after college / 6th Form for lack of anything else.

 @8RB22NGGreenanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes. Free education enables everybody from all backgrounds the chance to improve their lives

 @9LQMDG9answered…4 days4D

University's should only be able to charge the maximum amount of fees if they can prove that you have been provided with all the relevant knowledge to secure a job in that field. If they have not prepared you for work they have failed and don't deserve the money anyway regardless of grades attained. University's that have a low amount of students securing jobs afterwards should not be allowed to charge higher fees. University's that prep their students well should be the most expensive but capped at a certain amount so people from all income brackets can have a fair chance.

 @9LQ2QXNanswered…5 days5D

Yes, but university admission should be rigorous and the total number of students attending university smaller

 @9LP935RLiberal Democratanswered…6 days6D

Education should be for all, other training courses and apprenticeships should also be offered free to those who would otherwise be unable to do them

 @9LNX8Q3answered…1wk1W

Yes for nursing, maybe 1 year at university, FOC, two years full training in hospital, earning money. Get rid of stupid courses that don’t lead to jobs.

 @9LNDMJ6from Vaduz answered…1wk1W

Defintely lower fees, a grad tax may work with certain subjects such as STEM courses being greatly reduced to increase more highly skilled workers, decreases the need for foreign visas and reduction of wages.

 @9LMW7N4answered…1wk1W

I support free tuition and think it's fair to say that this should apply to UK citizens only, but would make exceptions in certain cases (e.g. someone born abroad who has lived in the UK for the vast majority of their life and is, functionally speaking, a UK citizen)

 @9LKM9DYanswered…2wks2W

Free for subjects like medical or science where we want the best regardless of income. other degrees should be paid for and improve the quality of subjects

 @9LDNTDRLiberal Democratanswered…3wks3W

no but needs to be greatly reduced. Core subjects like nursing, doctors ect become free. Reduce the amount of courses needed, and make them more relevant to real world industries

 @9L879JSanswered…4wks4W

the current state of universities is a sham
you have allowed london and other city universities to become a breeding ground for mental illness and activist recrutment

Tuistion could also be done by AI so why we still employing teachers? get ROBOTS in

 @9L7Z7NZLabouranswered…4wks4W

Yes, on a sliding scale depending on family income, similar to child benefit rules, to level the playing field for students from lower income families.

 @9L4H4RGanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only after the student finishes university. If someone goes there and doesn’t get anything out of it then they should pay the full amount as they have wasted time and a place that could have benefited others. Someone who finishes uni with top grades should get a reduction to how much they pay as they have put in the time and effort

 @9L4GBX9answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but on a merit based system with an overhaul of degree courses to make them more relevant.with fewer but higher calibre universities and should not be "pay to win" and it feels like current system is more designed to keep people out of the unemployed stats

 @9KXHQ5Qanswered…1mo1MO

Tuition fees should be a reflection on the degree and resources required for that degree. With a cap to prevent runaway quotes.

 @9KVSY44answered…1mo1MO

It should be reduced, it should be free for certain areas such as NHS and free for low income families

 @9KV49C9answered…1mo1MO

They should be reduced and everyone should pay something back towards them no matter what their income.

 @9KTXXXJanswered…1mo1MO

Tuition fees should be dependent on the performance of the respective universities. Universities which support students and obtain higher degree standards and a higher percentage of students graduating into relevant work following their degree should be allowed to charge the most. With poorer performing universities should be supported to improve.

 @9KT3PRQanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, the relevance of a degree in the current job market is irrelevant as most companies only utilise it as a buffer to filter candidates and not as any actual requirement for jobs as the demand for experience in entry level positions has become ridiculous.

 @9KR2JM8answered…2mos2MO

Courses beneficial to society or businesses where the students use what they have learned should be free, others Courses should have to be paid for

 @9KQ5FGYanswered…2mos2MO

No, but ensure that fees are going toward research or development funding, rather than the pockets of higher level faculty.

 @9KP8NX3answered…2mos2MO

there should a flat rate regardless of course & location which is based on the length of the course only and it should cost more for those coming from outwith the UK

 @9KLK3YZanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only for low and middle income families or students who don’t have support- must be a UK citizen.

 @9KLCM8Nfrom New York answered…2mos2MO

The UK should abolish tuition fees for any job that requires more than 6 years of education. Anything less than 6 years of education should have financial support based on their income and financial state.

 @9KJF7N2answered…2mos2MO

Yes, reduced the amount of courses there are. And make doctors and nurse qualifications free. Maybe make nursing an NVQ

 @9KHHLGPanswered…2mos2MO

There should be a reasonable cap, of £1,000, for example. That would generate some maintenance budget for institutions without limiting access to higher education.

 @9KG9VZLanswered…2mos2MO

Remove courses that don’t have a direct correlation with an industry or job sector. Increase and all make universities harder to get into so it filters out the dross and pulls through the best

 @9KC97MHanswered…2mos2MO

yes in certain circumstances - low income, with a sliding scale of support, and for high demand skills regardless of income

 @9KB5SQXanswered…2mos2MO

Abolish fees, and close universities which are of a lower standard. Encourage students to take other paths (not university)

 @9K4Y67Lanswered…2mos2MO

Remove the fees if they complete the course but pay full fee if not complete. For those that do complete tax the companies that require degrees for their vacancies

 @9K3RRFSLiberal Democratanswered…2mos2MO

Some jobs require a university degree,and for those that require it as an entry level,then in that instance it should be free for those struggling financially and/or is a must to get a degree.

 @9JXKY9Canswered…2mos2MO

End of degree has a grade. 1st class is 70%+, pay 30% of the loan. 2;1 is 60%+, pay 40% of the loan etc.

 @9JV2GSSanswered…3mos3MO

There needs to be more support for people from lower income families and areas of lower opportunity.

 @9JSYS24answered…3mos3MO

A graduate tax but this should range depending on the impact the graduate has for society, if they provide great benefits, such as a doctor then the tax should be lower.

 @9JR4YBQanswered…3mos3MO

I think they could definitely be reduced and the inflation on the loans should be abolished. If we require people to have degree to get the jobs we want them to have, then think about abolishing tuition fees

 @9JPXKLK answered…3mos3MO

Only for jobs that are in high demand and allow current graduates to re-train if they already have a degree.

 @9JN34FVanswered…3mos3MO

For low income families and studying fields of high demand in public sector eg medicine and education

 @9JHW84Ranswered…3mos3MO

No, but they should be reduced for both UK students and Commonwealth students (Including ex commonwealth members like Hong Kong)

 @9J8DF2Vanswered…3mos3MO

University degrees in fields that are necessary for society (STEM subjects, law etc.) should be free for all. Degrees like Classics, which aren’t that useful to society, should cost money.

 @9J86X28answered…3mos3MO

No, and tuition fees should be set by the market without any government intervention, funding or subsidy.

 @9J7ZYZZanswered…3mos3MO

No, but abolish the interest rates on student loan repayments, a higher skilled workforce is beneficial to the country long term.

 @9J79WDHanswered…3mos3MO

The government needs to invest more in the sector and overhaul the financial model to make it sustainable.

 @9J6VSLYanswered…3mos3MO

No, the UK should return to sending no more than 10-15% of the population to university, whilst purging the universities of the gay race communists who teach there

 @9J5QWJTanswered…3mos3MO

No because they provide funding for research, but they should be decreased for citizens and low income families

 @9J2R6BJanswered…4mos4MO

It should be reduced, with extra support for low income families. If tuition fees still exist, they should be at least partly government funded in order for fees to be reduced whilst maintaining quality of education.

 @9HTZWGQWomen's Equalityanswered…4mos4MO

I think for some basic courses they should abolish fees, but courses that take like 4+ years or are just really intense courses shouldn’t be, eg law, doctor
