CHAPTER

Crisis in UK Higher Education Funding

This chapter examines the impact of tuition fee hikes in 2012 on the UK's ongoing education crisis, revealing how increased fees failed to compensate for government funding cuts. It discusses the reliance on international student fees, exploitation of staff, and the decline in pay, while calling for urgent reforms to ensure accountability and fairness in the funding model. The speakers also critique the market-driven approach to education and explore potential alternative funding solutions to alleviate the financial burden on both students and universities.
