That's wrong.
In 2000 the fees that the UK student had to pay was £1000 a year (£1700 in today's currency), and the government paid about £3000 - a total of £4000, or £6800 in today's money.
Students had to pay this upfront to study. In 2006 these upfront fees were dropped.
- shawabawa3 7y agoStudent fees were introduced september 1998, or just over 21 years ago Technically they're wrong but it's a very minor change to their point
- iso1824 7y agoNot really, they were still £4000, its just that the government paid the full amount rather than 75% (20 years ago)
- spzb 7y agoOK, I was rounding. It was closer to 25 years ago but I try not to think about how old I am.
