Labour is poised to announce the first rise in university tuition fees in
eight years, according to reports.

Amid fears of a growing financial crisis• Финансовый кризис among universities, the Government is
expected to unveil a hike in charges for students from September.

Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson is due to make a statement to the House
of Commons
later this afternoon.

Tuition fees have remained frozen at £9,250 in England since 2017, but
university leaders have recently been calling on the Government to help
institutions struggling financially.

Due to rampant inflation• Экономика » Макроэкономика » Макроэкономические индикаторы » Инфляция

in recent years, universities have seen the value of
domestic tuition fees fall.

This has left them increasingly reliant on foreign students, who can be
charged significantly more.

measure known
as RPIX, which excludes mortgage interest payments.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies has estimated, under this measure, tuition
fees for students starting their degree in England would reach £9,500 in
October 2025 and £10,500 a year by 2029.

Speaking in August, Ms Phillipson said raising tuition fees would be 'really
unpalatable' but did not rule out Labour doing so.

The previous government raised the cap on university tuition fees in England
to £9,000 a year in 2012, but it has been fixed at £9,250 since 2017.

Asked whether tuition fee caps would be increased in the next five years, Ms
Phillipson told Sky News this summer: 'I do recognise the challenge, and I
hear that message from institutions as well, but I think that's a really
unpalatable thing to be considering.

'Not least because I know that lots of students across the country are already
facing big challenges around the cost of living, housing costs, lots of
students I speak to who are already working lots of jobs, extra hours, in
order to pay for their studies.'

Ms Phillipson said the Government does intend to 'reform the system overall',
adding: 'I've been looking at what the options around that will be and I hope
at a later stage to be able to say more about that.'

The Education Secretary previously said Labour had 'no plans' to increase
fees.

When he was campaigning to be Labour leader in 2020, Sir Keir Starmer pledged
to 'support the abolition of tuition fees' but has since rowed back on that
promise.
