The Government should cut the tuition fee cap for all university courses from £9,250 to £6,000 as part of a radical overhaul of post-18 education and training, a think tank has recommended.
In its report published on Wednesday, the EDSK noted that many colleges and independent higher education (HE) providers are already expected to deliver degree-level programmes for £6,000 due to their lower fee cap, which suggests this figure represents an appropriate “baseline” for measuring the costs of delivering post-18—or tertiary—education.
