David Cameron admits tuition fees increase will keep cost to foreign students down - Telegraph

The Coalition’s decision to increase tuition fees by thousands of pounds will help keep down the cost to foreign students of studying in Britain, David Cameron has admitted.



I'm so glad we are doing all we can to ensure:

1. Foreign students can get a better and cheaper education than our own children.
2. Foreign workers get an easy passage to a job here on an ICT visa, so our own children can be unemployed and deeply in debt.

Foreign student fees are already quite high, Most universities already charge over £9K per year. Your assertion is incorrect.

I would never allow my son to take ICT, he'll be better off as a plumber or a bus driver.

I've already implemented my plan B...took two clients on in the last week already! cha ching

a monarchy has vested interests in the people...

A fact that is often forgotten. And they don't need money or votes from grubby little deals and policies.

Question: have they actually decided to put costs up, or have they removed restrictions on universities to charge more? Or both?

I think they have set the levels they can charge up to 9k, while also cutting millions from their funding.

My son goes to university next year to study physics for three years. Cost in the UK, (currently!), £3500 per year. Cost in Switzerland £700 per year. Perhaps all these British students should study abroad.

The more I think about it, the more I like your suggestion.

Charles has more life experience than all the current political party leaders put together and not likely to be inclined to just line his pockets with corporate dosh. Perhaps we should have a modern interregnum: when Betty shuffles off this mortal coil, put a King in charge for a while. It is fairly traditional when we have a Charles as king to experiment with alternative styles of government.

Charles for Prime Minister!

(Do we get to behead the politicians first? Pretty please?)

Plus a monarchy has vested interests in the people, unlike politicians who can make themselves rich by selling us out.

Can't we sack the politicians? A ten year pause during which Becky and her son Charley George Ear-basher can be in charge? I can't see them doing much worse tbh

But will they be wanting jobs while they 'study' at some bogus educational institute and to stay when they have finished 'studying', like now?

Those who did that usually went for some cheap English language courses, even ex-poly used to cost foreign students £7k+ back 10 years ago when I studied and you pretty much had to prove you've transferred money to the Uni in advance to get visa.

[TimberWolf]

They expect drop off in home students and the only way to make up for it is to attract more foreign students, increasing fees for them won't exactly help.

He just did not phrase it well.

It's all part of his plan to reduce immigration by making it bigger and not including anyone after the number 20,000 in the figures.
