Tuition fees in the U.K. were first imposed in 1998 and required students to pay up to £1,000 a year for tuition. England increased the fees to £3,000 a year in 2004 and in 2012 64 universities announced their intention to charge the full £9,000 allowed by the government, with the remaining 59 all charging at least £6,000. Scotland currently does not charge any tuition fees. Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland currently impose a cap on their tuition fees of £3,000 a year.

Yes, and write-off existing student debt
@4WDS27K4yrs4Y
Yes, for medical students who will later pursue a job in the NHS
@8PG7QD64yrs4Y
Yes, but only for degrees which are for jobs such as Nursing, Ambulance Service, and Policing. However, only reduce for other degrees.
@9Q3CF477mos7MO
No but they should be reduced for low-income UK citizens so that they have access to the same education opportunities
@9LP935R9mos9MO
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
@9M6LGNS9mos9MO
No, but they should be reduced for vocational subjects, such as medicine. Grants should be readily available to those from poorer backgrounds.
@9LQ2QXN9mos9MO
Yes, but university admission should be rigorous and the total number of students attending university smaller
