Future Of Higher Education

EDM number 994 in 2002-03, proposed by Anne Campbell on 01/04/2003.

That this House welcomes the extra Government money announced in the White Paper 'The Future of Higher Education'; further welcomes the end of up front tuition fees; supports the reintroduction of grants for students from poorer backgrounds; recognises the improvements outlined for the repayment of debt, but believes that differential fees will deter students from low-income backgrounds from applying to the top academic institutions and to certain courses; and, if extra money is required, urges the Government to implement a measured increase in fees across the board, whilst maintaining the full or partial exemption from fees for students from low income backgrounds.

This motion has been signed by a total of 78 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
