Learning to pay: universities

Article Abstract:

British citizens accept that students will have to pay more for higher education if the system is to maintain its high quality. More students are entering universities and colleges, as much as 32 percent of those who completed secondary school in 1997, up from 5 percent in 1963. The increase in the number of students without a corresponding per-student increase in fees results in less money available to pay teachers and provide equipment. If the quality of higher education is to be maintained, experts predict that students should pay 1,000 pounds sterling per year of higher education.

A little learning

Article Abstract:

A study of 17 member countries of the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) shows an increase from 14.4% to 22.4% in the number of 18-21 year olds in higher education. Financial analysts recommend that a higher amount of the cost should be borne by the students themselves.
