Offa signals bursary battle

Article Abstract:

Sir Martin Harris, head of the Office for Fair Access, has warned students that they will face a "volatile market" in scholarships and bursaries in 2006 as the majority of universities in the UK plan to begin charging tuition fees of UKPd3,000/yr. Of the 127 universities and colleges expected to lodge their plans for 2006, so far only one, Leeds Metropolitan University, has announced that it plans to charge less than UKPd3,000.

Despair of the debt defaulters

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the financial predicaments students can find themselves in as a result of the cost of higher education in the UK. It is argued that the introduction of the top-up fee system will make the situation worse and that it will become increasingly difficult for students from disadvantaged backgrounds to consider higher education.
