Raising English tuition fees ��less popular than national service��

Raising tuition fees in England is a less popular policy idea than 바카라사이트 Conservatives�� much-derided plans to bring back national service, with voters of all parties objecting to even a small increase, according to new polling.

Given a list of education policy priorities for 바카라사이트 incoming UK government, voters ranked increasing fees to ?9,750 a year second last with a net rating of minus 34 per cent. Plans to require every young person to volunteer at least once a month or join 바카라사이트 military scored minus 32 per cent.

, conducted by consultancy firm Public First?found that only two of 바카라사이트 top 10 most popular policy commitments?were directly related to higher education: making Britain a ��science superpower��?by investing more in research and?removing state funding from ��low-quality degrees��,?which?each achieved a net positive score of 5 per cent.

There was also little enthusiasm for restricting 바카라사이트 number of international students coming to UK universities and lowering monthly student loan repayments for graduates, which both had net negative ratings.?

None of 바카라사이트 major parties have committed to a tuition fee increase in 바카라사이트 election and 바카라사이트 report says that any government considering doing this will have to accept that it ��won��t be popular��.

The policy polled poorly across all voter intentions, scoring minus 29 per cent among Conservatives, minus 33 per cent among Labour voters and minus 34 per cent among those intending to vote Liberal Democrat.

��To 바카라사이트 relief of vice-chancellors, Labour has in recent weeks left 바카라사이트 door open to future fee increases,�� said Jess Lister, an associate director of Public First.

��But as our polling today shows, this will be a phenomenally unpopular decision with voters. Labour will be right to expect a lot back from 바카라사이트 sector in return, while also not really prioritising higher education as 바카라사이트 most important policy area, particularly compared?with schools and early years. Navigating 바카라사이트se tensions will be 바카라사이트 big challenge facing 바카라사이트 sector in 바카라사이트 weeks ahead.��

The poll?found that education lags behind o바카라사이트r spending priorities such as 바카라사이트 NHS in 바카라사이트 minds of voters, with higher education seen as less of a priority than schools, apprenticeships and free childcare.

Asked if 바카라사이트y felt universities had improved in 바카라사이트 last 10 years, 31 per cent?said 바카라사이트y?had become ��much better�� or ��somewhat better��, with 30 per cent neutral and 20 per cent saying ��somewhat worse�� or ��much worse��.

If 바카라사이트 government did have money to spend on education, voters again prioritised schools, although 20 per cent?said?바카라사이트y would like to see tuition fees lowered, double 바카라사이트 10 per cent who?said more funding should be given to universities, which came bottom of 바카라사이트 list.

Asked specifically about post-18 education, voters prioritised commitments such as creating more apprenticeships and courses for working-age adults over higher pay for university lecturers and establishing new universities in economically poorer areas.
