Should the UK abolish university tuition fees?

Tuition fees in the U.K. were first imposed in 1998 and required students to pay up to £1,000 a year for tuition. England increased the fees to £3,000 a year in 2004 and in 2012 64 universities announced their intention to charge the full £9,000 allowed by the government, with the remaining 59 all charging at least £6,000. Scotland currently does not charge any tuition fees. Northern Ireland, Wales and Ireland currently impose a cap on their tuition fees of £3,000 a year.

Fees should overall be drastically reduced. An online option should be available for each degree as much as possible, especially in order to reduce costs. Veterans, high achieving students and those whose families are wholeheartedly seeking employment and aren´t capable of affording the fees, should be awarded a full scholarship.
