Teaching fees for tuition.
England is a big country, their university of education try to enhance the skills of the students
but the education fees of England is quite high. Their government said that due to inflations
rate in the country they increase the tuition fees of the universities. Accordingly, to that they
increase the fees for both the students for old and for the new admissions as well. But to
protest this issue. University planning that these laws is applicable for new applicants rather
than old one (Flowerdew 2013).
Education sector is the most essential part to upbringing the student quality. This education
helps to grow the economic condition and economic growth as well. But the education fees
demotivate the students and make them down. Due to this issue students get their applications
back and prefer to go another country (Churchill 2015 ). USA thinks that quality of education
is increasing by increasing the fees.
Conclusion:
From the above theory it was concluded that the education is just about to collect funds by
giving qualification (Flowerdew, 2014.).

…………………. in terms of funding and quality. Which system is preferable?
Topic: Making Comparison between education system of USA and England.
Introduction:
In this given report it was explained that the England education is different from US education
policies(García and Wei, 2014). Both the countries have their own fees structure England
charge more fees as compare to USA. England government says that after 2017(Basturkmen
2014). University increases their tuition fees every year due to inflations. On the other hand
USA universities thinks that for getting quality of education students have to pay more money.
It has been found that tuition fees of England university is more than USA tuition fees.
Both the universities change their fees on the basis of their laws(Flowerdew, 2013). England
increases their tuition fees on the bases of inflation rates on the other side USA increase tuition
fees every year to enhance the quality of teaching methods. USA parents more confident about
their teaching methods(Karimi, 2016). It suggests that USA studies are more completable than
others. On the basis of quality England needs to improve their teaching quality authorities and
concern peoples are very much serious about quality of teaching methods to enhance the
student knowledge. On the other side USA thinks that if student wants quality of studies they
have to pay more money for that, in that situation USA needs to modify their judgements and
helps students to arrange the funds(Cortes, 2013).
Conclusion:
Conclusion is that government needs to modify their laws and give benefits to lower class
peoples so that they afford high class education fees.
