question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the cost of abolishing university tuition fees.

uin	1620
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2017 answer text <p>The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has estimated that abolishing tuition fees would increase the fiscal deficit for the 2017/18 student cohort by around £11bn, with the long-term cost of student funding increasing by around £6.5bn.</p><p>The major reforms to English higher education in 2012 have significantly increased average per-student funding. Graduates do not start repaying loans until their annual incomes reach £21,000, and loans are written off after 30 years.</p><p>By enabling English universities to charge current tuition fees, the Government no longer has to ration access to higher education via a cap on student numbers. This enables it to offer more places, including to young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, who are now going to university at a record rate – they are 43% morelikely to go to university 43%more likely to go to university than they were in 2009.*</p><p>Graduates earn, on average, substantially more than people with A levels who did not go to university.</p><p> </p><p>Various pieces of research show that Higher Education graduates earn, on average, at least £100,000 more over their lifetimes than those without a degree but with 2 or more A-Levels. The most recent BIS commissioned research shows that, on average, a male graduate could expect to earn £170,000 more and a female graduate £250,000 more over their lifetimes, than someone without a degree but with 2 or more A-levels, net of tax and other costs (2012 prices).</p><p>Abolishing tuition fees would be socially regressive: as well as unfairly burdening the general taxpayer, it would benefit mainly those students going on to well-paid jobs, who repay their loans in full.</p><p>*<a href="https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201617/ldselect/ldsecleg/92/9207.htm" target="_blank">https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201617/ldselect/ldsecleg/92/9207.htm</a></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 07/08/2017 13:03:19 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
