Higher Education Funding

EDM number 1103 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 17/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Higher education.

That this House recognises the widespread concern about the effects tuition fees and perception of debt may have had on access to universities, particularly among students from families on modest or lower middle incomes; notes that there are alternative models of funding higher education, which do not involve top-up fees; and therefore calls on the Government to publish full details of these alternatives to facilitate proper, informed debate and understanding before proceeding with legislation to increase tuition fees.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
