British student numbers to fall by 36,000

PressTV - British student numbers to fall by 36,000

The number of students could drop by 36,000 next year as so many UK universities have ignored the government's pleas and decided to charge maximum £9,000 fees.

A survey into the universities' plans show that almost two-thirds of the universities are going to charge the maximum fees for all of their courses, irrespective of the calls that vice-chancellors should only impose £9,000 fees in “exceptional circumstances.”
