Labour's university tuition fee hike slammed
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson arrives in Downing Street, London, for a Cabinet meeting, October 8, 2024

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.
