Az Egyesült Királyság kormánya emellett érvel, hogy az egyetemek saját hatáskörükben szabhassák meg a tandíj mértékét az évi 3000 fontos maximális határig. A magam részéről az ebben vázolt tandíj koncepcióval egyet tudok érteni, akit érdekel, olvassa el az egész anyagot ->

Az alábbi idézet azonban nem pusztán a tandíjról szól, hanem azt tükrözi, ahogy a brit kormány a felsőoktatásról gondolkodik.

• Students need different things from their higher education and universities have different strengths. Everyone benefits when the match is right and that happens when students have more choice and when we stop trying to make all universities the same.
• Universities have different strengths. We need universities working with their local communities and at the centre of their regional economies just as much as universities doing leading edge research. It is important that we have universities able to reach out to nontraditional students as well as universities that cater for the most academically able.
• We are fortunate to have a very rich mixture of institutions with all of these strengths. We have world leaders in research; we have world leaders in widening participation.
• Students need different things. Every student wants high-class teaching. But beyond this, students want different things from their higher education. Some want a specific job out of it; others want to learn for the love of learning. Some want to be pioneers in their fields and some just want to have the chance to be the first in their families to go to university.
• Higher Education is no-longer predicated on a single model of entrants coming straight out of school with A-levels. Today, students come through a variety of different routes including vocational and further education, with different needs and increasingly studying part-time where variable fees are already an accepted part of the landscape.
• A generous student support package means they are able to choose. Whatever the price of a full-time course, the fact that fees are not payable at the point of entry means that no student need be deterred by cost. The medical student will pay the same at the outset as the philosophy student - nothing. As a graduate, when earning a reasonable salary, they will pay for the course they have chosen through the tax system.
• And the Government will continue to pay the majority of the cost of a student's higher education. It will also continue to pay more to universities to run the more expensive courses such as engineering or medicine.
