Business Secretary Vince Cable has given the government's approval to a report calling for an unlimited level of tuition fees for students.

Other possible changes include charging proper interest on the loans, at the moment they are linked to inflation only. As well as increasing the earning cap at which you start to pay the loans from the current £15,000 a year to £21,000 a year.
The interest in particular is a pretty mean policy if they go though with it. People have pointed out that it will favor those who earn more faster, after all someone receiving £100,000 a year will pay back the loan considerably faster than someone at £20,000 a year due to being charged less interest.
Now I was for the current system. Uni is expensive and students should probably have to pay for some of it. However these changes are absurd.
