All of we are aware of what has happened in the Britain during the past week regarding the increase of the tuition fees of university students. I have also followed the updates regularly and today when I was reading the news online, I found this very alarming questions put forward by guests in Alzeera. Hopefully this is not the future.
The UK government has announced plans to raise university tuition fees by up to $14,000 a year.
Scotland abolished tuition fees in 2000, but in the rest of Britain they are capped at about $4,800 a year. However, the coalition government plans to triple that and to cut funding to universities as it strives to slash $128bn from public expenditure over the next four years.
Students have reacted by storming the offices of the ruling Conservative Party.
Is the government shifting the burden from the state to students? Is the age of affordable education for all coming to an end? Is university education becoming a luxury or is it about time that the subsidised system was reviewed?

As UK is worldwide popular for its education,i think the Government should take proper step to control this situation.
