|
Universities in England are receiving 25% more funding per student per degree than they did before funding reforms in 2012.
But the current combination of high fees and large student maintenance loans is contributing to English graduates having the highest student debts in the developed world – and is leaving poorer students with debts one-third higher than richer students.
The full scale of the impact of the 2012 tripling of the cap on university tuition fees and 2016 abolition of student maintenance grants is revealed in a new analysis by the Institute for Fiscal Studies or IFS.

The current system was introduced without proper debate or discussion. I point the finger of accusation at Blair, Brown and the rest of that ghastly gang. |
