Recent days have seen demonstrations against the coalition Government policy of increasing tuition fees for students going to university from 1 September 2012 onwards. Whilst the vast majority of demonstrators appear to have conducted themselves properly there were a significant number of nasty events including one in which a car carrying Prince Charles was attacked. Police tactics have also been controversial including ‘kettling’ of crowds and releasing those ‘kettled’ slowly so that photographs could be taken.
The legislation dealing with student fees is the Higher Education Act 2004 and Regulations made thereunder. MPs have been voting on the Draft Higher Education (Higher Amount)(England) Regulations 2010. The sponsor of the draft regulations is the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (see their webpage dealing with student finance).
