Four ways to tax students

Article Abstract:

The United Kingdom Committee of Vice Chancellors and Principals will publish a report in August 1993 which will set out four proposals for charging students for higher education. The most favoured proposal appears to be similar to a system used in Australia where students pay for tuition fees with a loan. More money would, however, be raised by a graduate tax to be repaid over students' working lifetimes. The other two proposals involve student loans for their living costs, or a fee to cover part of tuition costs, with both to be repaid through taxes.

Article Abstract:

The Higher Education Funding Councils (HEFCE) are responsible for allocating government funding to the universities, former polytechnics and some colleges. It will have a budget of 3.5 billion pounds sterling annually,and by 1993-94 will be overseeing more than a million students. Discussions will take place on the allocation for teaching and research, which is a contentious issue in many institutions.
