Research Abstract

The new tuition fee system that was introduced in England in the academic year 2006-07 acts as an income contingent loan : students are not required to pay tuition fees at the beginning of their study at university, but can start repaying them as tax when their income exceeds a fixed amount after graduation. The adoption of this system, in theory, gives students from lower income groups the opportunity to attend university since they do not need to provide a large amount of money at the beginning of their study. In addition, the remaining debt of those who fail to earn high lifetime incomes is remitted twenty-five years after graduation, thereby relieving students of their anxiety over their debt. Thus, the English new tuition fee system can give us a fresh perspective in terms of the expansion of opportunity for students from lower income groups.
