Rejected petition Lower tuition fees

More details

The tuition fee rises brought in by the government mean that a whole generation of people will be paying around £27,000 for an education which is not guaranteed to get them any job, let alone a well-paid one.

This is £27,000 more than the man whose Oxford education led to him getting Britain's top job ever paid.

Please sign this petition if you believe in social mobility, and if you find it unfair that a generation of people who did nothing to cause this recession (and didn't get to vote for the government) will have to bear the brunt of the government's university cuts.
