  1. Hello I'm [Rapha]

    Please read Naeema's message (in several posts because of text limit):

    “Among everything I have lost, I still hold on to one dream: completing my education. For me, education is not just about earning a degree—it is my only hope for building a better future despite the difficult circumstances I am living through."

  2. The problem is that UK universities’ business model depends on charging exorbitantly high international fees. Post-Brexit, EU students are now caught up in that regime. A better funding model which actually covers the cost of teaching home students is needed. #HigherEducation #TuitionFees

  3. *Inside cybernetics, ANU-style*

    If this is any indication of how the ANU is run in terms of courses offered, then questions need to be asked and some full and transparant answers are required. What is it about #Universtities these days, it’s just one clusterfuck ofter another at the moment…

    “The School of Cybernetics is an anomaly in the higher education landscape. The course fees are advertised at $39,925, although it’s unclear how many students, past or present, have paid the full amount. It is rumoured that almost every student has been granted a generous scholarship, although an ANU spokesperson declined to provide numbers.

    Highly confidential documents seen by this masthead indicate that very few of the 28.2 equivalent full-time students in 2023 paid the sticker price. That year, total revenue from fees, philanthropy, and research income was just $258,000 for the entire school – or $9,000 a student.

    Expenses attributed to the School of Cybernetics, however, were $7 million. The documents equate that to $237,000 a student, leaving the university with $228,000 per student to be found from elsewhere to cover the cost of teaching its tiny, privileged cohort.

    The ANU spokeswoman declined to answer how many cybernetics students had been awarded scholarships, the value of those scholarships, or where the money to fund them came from, other than that scholarships were generally funded by “industry and general revenue”.

    Sack all councils and review how appointments are made.

  4. How international student tuition fees vary across Europe.

    A French government plan to charge students from outside the EU 16 times more than previously have stoked discontent.

    But how does this compare to the rest of Europe, both inside the EU and out?

  5. The University of Strasbourg moves to expel international students over unpaid tuition.

    The university is preparing to drop around 40 master’s students who have been unable to pay the nearly €4000 increased tuition fees required of non-EU students.

    Few universities have enforced this measure. The government wants that to change.

  6. Hi folks! My friend Aseel only has a few more hours to pay her fees for the semester so she can take her exams. She needs less than $300 more, and she has a donor willing to match donations to help get her to that goal. Please help my friend in Palestine seek a better future!

  7. UK students shouldn’t see a #studentLoan as a debt, but as a tax: an additional 9% on their earnings above the threshold. Some will pay it off, but many won’t. In which case it will reduce their potential future earnings more or less indefinitely. #HigherEducation #TuitionFees

  8. And just to remind you what Starmer promised when he was standing for Labour leader, he promised to "support the abolition of tuition fees".

    Putting them up is not the same thing as abolition.

  9. Ah, more "tough decisions" I see, which again are not remotely tough for the rich and powerful.

    Just like all the other "tough decisions".

  10. “International students accounted for 24% of all students at English universities by 2021/22 but provided about 40% of tuition fee income.” #HigherEducation #AcademicSky #TuitionFees thetimes.com/article/d8b73d13-

  11. Terribly low quality Leader & void of any true value by @TheEconomist!

    ‘Marketised’ #HigherEducation system is a terrible idea, as it’s evident by the developments in America.

    In arguing for #tuitionfees increase, @TheEconomist wants Higher Education to be the preserve of the rich & wealthy.

    If we want a cohesive, egalitarian, healthier, & yes wealthier society, we should look to the experience of #Nordic countries & ignore @TheEconomist and the marketised American model of Higher Education!

  12. “That’s the trouble with inequality—either between international and home students on costs, or between Russell Group facilities and everyone else’s. Eventually it becomes completely unjustifiable.” #HigherEducation #TuitionFees wonkhe.com/blogs/labour-has-no

  13. Polling also shows most people think students should pay less towards the cost of higher education and employers should pay more.

    UCU is now calling on all political parties to put forward a realistic higher education funding model ahead of the coming general election.

    Our reclaim Higher Education campaign launches today and will fight for radical reform of higher education.

  14. A new report by London Economics shows an employer levy of around 1% on employer NI contributions for graduates could support the scrapping of tuition fees at no cost to the Exchequer.

    Alternatively, a 3% increase to corporation tax could be used to fund higher education instead. This would mean only profitable businesses would pay for the UK's university system, with those making the most profit paying the most.

  15. @konrad That’s staggering. It also suggests that my long held belief that there are no good billionaires may be wrong. I’m unaware of his other claims to fame, so please enlighten me. #University #Tuitionfees #Carnegie

  16. Tempted by the lack of #tuitionfees, world-class #highereducation, stunning scenery and high #qualityoflife, more and more international students are coming to study in #Germany, which now has over 400,000 international students across its higher education sector. @dw’s reporter Hannah Hummel talks about what should one know before deciding to come to Germany to study.

  17. Differing views on tuition fees reflect differing conclusions about who captures its benefits; the students, society as a whole or both. @ChrisMayLA6

  18. As the #LabourParty starts (ahead of the next election) to rethink its position on #tuitionfees (having, like the LibDems before them stepped back from a promise to abolition them), here are my thoughts on how we might best understand the discussion of funding students' attendance at #university (both tuition fees & living costs)

    Key point: its all about who we think captures the benefit(s) of a #university education!

  19. Martin Lewis is still right: #university #tuitionfees are repaid not as a loan but via a shadow #graduatetax... he also makes the central policy point:

    university students' funding is about the balance between social benefits & those captured by individuals;

    recovering the full cost, we're saying there's no social benefit; by making it completely free we say the individual gets no advantage(s);

    that's why I always supported the £3000 fee as a fair sharing of costs!
