Closed petition Reduce maximum tuition fees to £7,500 as recommended by the Augar Review 2019

Closed on 8 September 2022

The Government need to reduce maximum student tuition fees to £7,500 as recommended by the 2019 Review of Post-18 Education and Funding in order to make higher education more accessible to low-income students.

It is simply unacceptable for the Government not to implement the 2019 review's recommendation of reducing tuition fees. Not only do current tuition fees ignore the decline in quality of education over the pandemic but current fee levels are helping to alienate low-income students who cannot afford these tuition fees, and do not want to take out student loans. Reducing the fees would be an great step in the right direction for diversity and inclusivity in higher education.
