Labour's university tuition fee hike slammed
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson arrives in Downing Street, London, for a Cabinet meeting, October 8, 2024
UNIVERSITY tuition fees are to be hiked by the government in the latest indication of undead austerity.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson told MPs last night that the fees will rise to £9,535 per year from April, broadly in line with current inflation, hitting tens of thousands of students.
This is the first rise since 2017 and represents a double deception by PM Sir Keir Starmer.
