The House of Commons Library published a briefing on tuition fees today, which included this OECD graph. I think most people don't realise how high UK fees are internationally. #iTeachChem commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-bri...

OECD data on national tuition fee levels presented as a bar chart in dollars. England's annual fee of 13100 is the highest, with the US level of 9600 coming in second and Japan third at 5600.

Yes indeed. Redundancies and course curs sweeping through the sector in anticipation of the caps. The VCs jumped the gun. It appears 'never waste a crisis' was the driving factor. Will these job losses and cuts be reversed?

Today's university in trouble is Sheffield, as the unstoppable and existential crisis of most British Higher Education rolls on. Every day it's another victim. Wasteful and stupid. www.thestar.co.uk/education/re...

Redundancies loom at University of Sheffield over £50m funding gap

Up to £23m in cuts made primarily from support staff could be made at the University of Sheffield, with hundreds of jobs on the line.
