Two-thirds of British universities are pushing for an increase in annual fees that could raise them by £4,000-20,000. Fee structures are up for government review this year. Students currently pay maximum fees of £3,500 a year. The National Union of Students argues that if fees rise to even £7,000 students will face a debt of £32,000 on graduation. Higher Education Minister David Lammy warns that “There is an important debate to be had now, which is about how we maintain the world class status of our higher education sector.”
