Executive summary
This report evaluates the financing for higher education in England which may not be the best economical route. The fundamental dispute is that through the increase of tax, decrease in university expenses and reschedule methods of teaching tuition fee loans can be reduced. By raising the taxes students education will provided with lots help. Moreover it will mean that students won’t be into debts every year.
A further way out would be students being charged a reasonable amount for higher education. As a group we have discussed the theory behind the increase of fees and found that the government has to minimize the way it spends on services locally, nationally, and globally.
The UK government should have maintained the price for charging at£3,000, at £9,000 plus the numbers of years including Interest Home students are going to struggle to pay back loans, this is expected to cause another recession.
Another way out for the expensive tuition cost is resource management in each university. A brand new technique of using resources could be based on hiring students for campus jobs. This way all students will receive understanding and assist them in their own organization.
The BBC news reveals that young people are in danger of being trapped in a lifetime of unemployment. ONS (Office for National Statistics) disclose some intimidating figures which include 115,000 18 year olds to 24 year olds unemployed for longer than two years.
If the government can offer more part time studies for 18 year olds and above, and where full time jobs are being occupied by students we feel that students can easily fund themselves, there would be no need for them to rely solely on the government.
To summarise our point we believe th...

Recent studies show that the number of individuals who default on their student loans has been steadily increasing as well. Statistics from the Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) show that between 2004 and 2009 only 37% of federal student loan borrowers were able to make uninterrupted payments; it is an annual average of 7.4% (Cunningham, and Kienzl). According to IHEP, for every one borrower who defaulted, two ...

College is one of the most fundamental institutions in our modern world. It is a place where most of our future politicians, doctors, scientists, and leaders are made. Though, it seems that the price tag that comes with a college education is something that is too hefty for some students. Countless debates go on about whether the price of college should be abolished or whether the cost still is on the students to pay for.
There was a time in America where college was based solely on merit, higher education and pursuing the American Dream to obtain a career and gain social status to be successful in society. According to the Economist newspaper, rising fees and increase of student debt, shared with dwindling financial and educational returns, are undermining at least the perception that university is a good investment. Now due to high cost of an average good university, students are leaving college owing back over $100,000 and are not getting the job of their original dreams.
Today two thirds of college students need to take out loans to pay their tuition. Inflation on college tuition has more t...
The implications of productivity and institutional expenditures brings to mind economic patterns that question can we work better. Financial contracts and a misunderstood financial reserve should be avoided and “changes in the sources of funding for education were, in most cases, the result of the financial squeeze on public budgets” (Woodhall, 2007, p. 9). These issues suggest that institutions need to optimize financial status beyond government interventions and more towards a maintained and innovative funding source from private and public
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, college tuition and relevant fees have increased by 893 percent (“College costs and the CPI”). 893 percent is a very daunting percentage considering that it has surpassed the rise in the costs of Medicare, food, and housing. As America is trying to pull out of a recession, many students are looking for higher education so they can attain a gratified job. However, their vision is being stained by the dreadful rise in college costs. College tuition is rising beyond inflation. Such an immense rise in tuition has many serious implications for students; for example, fewer students are attending private colleges, fewer students are staying enrolled in college, and fewer students are working in the fields in which they majored in.
Unlike Cost Disease, the cost when regarding Revenue Theory of Cost is not focused technological progressions or the standard of living. It is, however, focused on the revenue available for education that can be raised for each student attending college. Technology and the standard of living only influence the cost per student only if they influence those who control revenues and enrollments. This is called the Revenue Theory of Cost because universities see the quality and cost relationship as a limitation, and they try to get past this limitation and get more revenue for the students to get to the path to higher quality. It is known that universities spend all the money they are given. There are public restraints, such as health care or K-12 education, which keeps universities from wasteful overspending. Bowen explains that he expects colleges and universities to do everything they can to get past the constraint that revenue has on costs. Quality comes into play such that some think raising prices might decrease the amount of high quality students and would harm the overall quality of the college or university. Bowen states that “an institution can maximize quality or it can maximize revenue. It cannot do both.” Although maximization in quality usually trumps the maximization of revenue in terms of the cost of tuition. It is also said that the only way to control the institutions is to control their revenue (Archibald and
The biggest question or dispute regarding the cost of higher education is finding the appropriate monetary and economical equation to determine the percentage of personal and public responsibility. The above debate has been in question since the 1800’s when Thomas Jefferson stated; "I think by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowledge among the people. No other sure foundation can be devised, for the preservation of freedom and happiness ”. Those important words that called attention to the importance of having an educated citizenry in order to preserve democracy are until this day, words by which legislator...

Ultimately, the United States should bring forth a free, government subsidized, higher education, because of its benefit to the economy, creation of equal opportunity, and the resolution of the student loan crisis. Even though it will require funding, there are certainly innocuous alternatives that could provide this rather than putting the extra stress on average American taxpayers.
...ggled with high debt burdens that adversely impedes their lives. Also, it will threaten to the affordability and success of higher education in the US. I believe that through my research paper in can prompt American college students to make wise and informed decision on financing higher education. Moreover, it will make the education policymakers aware that the rising education debt has a serious implication for college access and affordability, prompting them to decrease total student loan debt amounts by holding down college tuition and increasing the federal student aids.
With the rapid growth of college tuition, it has become an important issue in higher education. College Tuition is simply defined as the charge or fee for instruction, at a private school or a college or a university. Most people agree today that college tuition is too high or that it needs to be completely dismissed. There are some however, that may disagree with the claim about college tuition and state that college tuition is necessary for college growth, and it’s primary purpose is to pay for college expenses to support the institution financially. Research shows that college tuition is too high and that debt has become a standard in America after attending post-secondary school.
Fees and loans are too big of a load for young people to carry. A lot of students drop out do to the pressure of having to worry about all the loans they have to pay back after they are done with college. This should not be an issue to the student. According Iatham Emmmons, “Even worse, a large portion of students never receive funding at all due to the multitude of stipulations that must be adhered to in order to qualify for assistance. A major flaw in the current federal educational assistance programs is that the students’ parents’ income is used to calculate financial need” (Emmons 3). Even citizens who try to get help by applying for funding never end up getting it because they do not meet the needs required for the funding. Education should be p...
