Section 1: Portfolio Evidence IISummarising (recommended word count: 100)1.Find a text on university fees in the country of your choice (around 200 words) and paste it below, in part 1. Then, read the two texts and highlight the main points.PART 1:Text 1:University fees in EnglandText 2 (paste your text below):University fees in.......................“University tuition fees in England will rise to £9,250 per yearfrom 2017 and the increase could apply to students who havealready started courses. The inflation-linked rise represents a2.8% increase and if that continued would mean fees risingabove £10,000 in the next few years. Universities face thedilemma that under consumer protection requirements theywill need to announce the £9,250 fee before the beginning ofthe next application cycle in early September. However, untilformally changed by Parliament, universities are not allowed tocharge a fee higher than £9,000, which is the current limit.The government says the increase can apply to students whohave already begun courses - but this will depend on the termsof student contracts in individual universities. The fees willincrease in subsequent years. Royal Holloway and theUniversity of Kent have to still to decide on whether to chargehigher fees for current students, but expect to apply them tonew students starting in 2017, if the fee limit increase goesahead. The University of Surrey will not increase fees for itscurrent undergraduates, but fees will increase each year forstudents starting in 2017.Universities minister Jo Johnson has published a statementsetting out plans to link higher fees to better teaching. LiberalDemocrat university spokeswoman Baroness Lorely Burt said:"Linking fees to teaching quality in this way is unacceptable.Enabling any university that scrapes a 'meet expectations'rating to increase fees by 2.8% shows that this isn't aboutteaching quality at all. If universities need further support thenlet's have a proper discussion about where that money comesfrom, rather than pretending that this is somehow a quid proquo for providing the quality of teaching students shouldalready be able to expect". Sir Peter Lampl, chairman of theSutton Trust education charity, said the fee increase will add tostudent debts that we have shown to be by far the highest inthe English-speaking world. A real concern is that the removalof maintenance grants will almost certainly deter poorerstudents, who now face debts of over £50,000 on graduation”.From: Coughlan, S. (2017). University tuition fees rise to £9,250for current students –BBC News. [online] BBC News. Availableat:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-36856026 [Accessed19 Jan. 2017].Australians have about 18 months to study for an undergraduate university degree on current prices before being slugged at least 30% and as much as 60% more in fees.The 30% rise is the bottom end of the scale. This is roughly the shortfall universities face after the Federal Government cuts it’s funding, starting in 2016, under Budget measures announced last month.The cost of popular courses at some universities, most likelythe prestigious sandstone ones such a Sydney and Melbourne universities, will likely rise by a lot more than that.Australia is one of the most expensive country for overseas students, according to research by HSBC, with a combined average cost of university fees and living costs totalling more than $38,000 per year.That’s made up of $25,375 in university fees and $13,140 for cost of living. This is higher than even the US where fees are about the same, $25,226, but the cost of living is cheaper at $10,479.The cost of a degree will also cost more to finance. Unless you have the money upfront, the student loan scheme (HELP) will come with a bigger interest rate pegged to the 10 year government bond rate (as much as 6%) rather than the Consumer Price Index (currently 2.9%).So far, the government and the universities have been reluctant to put numbers on the changes to the fees charged for degrees in 18 months’ time. However, internal analysis by two universities – and a review of the marketplace for degrees – is starting to give a clearer picture.Postgraduate degrees won’t charge, at least in the short term. It’s the undergraduate degrees which will cost more to those who aren’t enrolled now. Those already enrolled get a free kick, a freeze on fees, until 2020.From: Business Insider Australia.
