No, and higher education should be free for everyone

 @9LP5T3Sdisagreed…7 days7D

Education should be free for everyone, due to the tutions fees a lot of children can't go for university, there are student lone but it is not for free, they are starting their life with huge debt. I saw a lot of university graduate struggling to get good income job too, that's the reason most children are decided not to go for university. You would not know immediately but in long terms our country educated population will be lower, that means economic, crime, standard of value of life .. everything will be going down.

Yes

The average university student will graduate with £40-50k worth of debt from their studies, that will take 9% of their income over £25k for a period of 30-40 years. If the university course is worth so little in terms of either societal good ( eg nursing) or gainful employment that they will not pay any or little of their loan back that cost will then be met by the tax payer. Then in effect the tax payer is paying for substandard courses leading to vast potential and productivity losses. Tax payers money must be spent wisely and not subsidising poor quality services.

No

 @9GZF2LZdisagreed…5mos5MO

As with all goods or services, we expect a standard of service, for university degrees we might measure the quality of that service in terms of outcomes, preparing the learner for prosperous employment and/ or contributing to society. If a university provides poor teaching leading to poor outcomes, students should have every right to seek compensation due to a poor quality service. Obviously there would need to be clear evidence of a pattern of underperformance across a university or course, not just a lack of application on part of a student.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7mos7MO

No, it is the student’s responsibility to manage their financial outcome

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7mos7MO

No, we should instead focus on decreasing the cost of education

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7mos7MO

Yes, but more liability for lower income degrees and minimal to no liability for high income degrees

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...7mos7MO

Yes, but only if they are for profit universities

 @9KVR46Banswered…1mo1MO

It is down to the student to properly research what their degree can achieve for them in life. If they choose a degree which will achieve little then it is on them to accept the consequence of their decision.

Only the government should pay for all and any education/loans.. It’s the governments fault for poor management of the country resulting in poor pay.

 @9HXYNNTanswered…4mos4MO

Higher education for subject areas where there is a high demand for UK domestic skills should be free for everyone on merit, the the number of university courses needs to be reduced.

 @9HCY58Qanswered…5mos5MO

No, jobs requiring degrees should make it easier for people to be hired - a lot want experience but some are fresh out of uni, and won’t gain experience without getting the job in the first place

 @9G85KTDanswered…6mos6MO

If the education is of good standard then its the student's fault, also i support free quality education

 @9G5MCLJanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but higher education should be free for everyone and only if they are for profit universities and make the liability proportional to the expected yearly income of the degree offered.

 @9FVKSV6answered…7mos7MO

Yes but I also think university should be free, so that everyone has equal opportunities and people, from all classes, get to have involvement in something bigger, for balance.
