TS SI GROUPWORK

Friday, September 22nd

AGAINST :

• It will limit those with genuine, aspirations and vocational goals.
• The rise of tuition fees will reduce the diversity of students : it will widen the class divide. A degree will become a status symbol.
• The wealthiest will obtain the most prestigious degrees.

- Having a degree is being jeopardized by the proposal to remove the cap on tuition fees.

FOR:

• If many people can go to university, the degrees they will get won’t be as valuable. If fewer students have degrees they will be more valuable.
• The money you will spend on tuition fees is a right contribution back into the system when students pay off their loans.
• We have a large gap to fill in the university budget.

2/ UK students choose European universities as tuition fees rise

What do you expect to hear?

I expect to hear about some English students talking about leaving home to go study in European Universities because they are cheaper / not as expensive or even free.

The document is a TV programme about a new phenomenon referred as « Tuition Tourism »in the UK as Tuition fees rise. In Holland they expect the number of applicants to double / increase dramatically.

There are agreements between European countries to maintain accessible tuition fees for European citizens.

The Netherlands are one of the cheapest places to study in Europe (1700€a year) compared to the cost of Education in UK where they charge up to 9000£

Charge =~ ( for sth ) the amount of money that sb asks for goods and services

We have to make a small charge forrefreshments.
