A few weeks ago, thousands of university students took to the streets after the English government proposed increasing university tuition from about $2,000 to $5,000. The government claims that this increase in tuition fees is necessary in order to increase college resources, and develop the curriculum, for instance. However, if education is a right, then should the government be responsible to pay the fees? In contrast to America, in Europe, university education is heavily subsidized by taxpayers, which impacts the schools’ independence and standards. On the other hand, if education is a privilege, then who should be responsible for paying for students’ university education? Parents? If so, would this bill compromise the educational opportunities of students from working-class backgrounds to attend universities? The English government claims that it would provide loans to cover tuition costs to the poorest students. But how long would the financial aid package stretch?
