On the 4th November 2024, the government announced that tuition fees in England will rise for current and existing students to £9,535 a year from Autumn 2025. In their statement to the House of Commons announcing this change, I asked the Education Secretary if she would commit to reviewing this increase if an equality impact assessment reveals that these increases are negatively impacting disadvantaged students. It has never sat well with me that many of the MPs who voted to introduce tuition fees not only attended university free of charge but were also awarded grants to do so. Higher education should be accessible to all, with support for every student.
