Agree

No, but they should be reduced

While the Conservative party has not made significant moves to reduce tuition fees, they have frozen the fees at £9,250 since 2017 and have expressed interest in reviewing the funding system for higher education. This suggests that they might be open to the idea of reducing fees, but it is not a strong priority.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for low income families

The Conservative party has not explicitly advocated for abolishing tuition fees for low-income families, but they have supported means-tested grants and loans to help students from low-income backgrounds access higher education. This suggests that they might be open to targeted support for low-income students, but not necessarily through abolishing fees entirely.

Neutral

Yes, but only for students studying in fields of high job demand

The Conservative party has not taken a clear stance on abolishing tuition fees specifically for students studying in fields of high job demand. While they have supported initiatives to promote skills development in high-demand industries, they have not linked this to tuition fee policy.

Disagree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

The Conservative party has not shown strong support for replacing tuition fees with a graduate tax. They have maintained the current system of tuition fees and income-contingent loans for students, which is different from a graduate tax system.

Disagree

Yes, but only for citizens

The Conservative party has not shown strong support for abolishing tuition fees only for citizens. They have maintained the current system where both citizens and international students pay tuition fees, with international students often paying higher fees than UK citizens.
