Up to £15m in tuition fees 'lost' to English universities

http://i2.walesonline.co.uk/news/article4306007.ece/ALTERNATES/s148/WalesOnline-Live-logo-4306007.jpgBy . New figures reveal the Welsh Government’s controversial tuition fee policy is ploughing up to £15.3m into five universities in England. The Welsh Government’s controversial tuition fee policy is ploughing up to £15.3m into five universities in England, figures uncovered by the Welsh Conservatives have revealed.
Data compiled by leader of the opposition Andrew RT Davies shows that based on the potential tuition fee subsidy of £5,500, as much as £15.3m could be lost to the top five most popular universities alone. A Freedom of Information request found that Bristol, Bath, Exeter, Liverpool and Chester take the most Welsh-domiciled students and the universities currently have 2,778 undergraduates enrolled. A decision to subsidise Welsh students wherever in the UK they choose to study currently costs the Welsh Government up to £5,500 per student, who continue to pay in the region of £3,500. Read more...

Universities hike tuition fees

By Pascal Kwesiga and Innocent Anguyo. PARENTS of students at the university must prepare to dig deeper in their pockets as tuition and functional fees are set to be hiked in a number of private and public universities in the country.
At Makerere, rising costs has forced the oldest public university to halt the feeding of private students who hitherto paid just sh2,000 per day for breakfast, lunch and supper.
This will raise the feeding cost for the students since they have to dig deeper in their pockets to buy food in the nearby eateries on a daily basis or alternatively cook their own food outside halls of residence.
The increase in fees is rooted in the rising costs of running universities. In public universities, the university councils, the top governing bodies, are only allowed to set new tuition fees provided they get approval from the Government. Read more...

High spending, low fees – And lower salaries

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgByJane Marshall. France scores well in its expenditure on higher education students, in the proportion of its population who are graduates and in the number of international students who choose to study there, according to the OECD’s Education at a Glance 2013. But the financial advantages a degree confers on employees are lower for French graduates than for their peers across the OECD, especially women. Read more...

Rising fees saw enrolments also increase

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Geoff Maslen. One problem with the OECD Education at a Glance reports is that, because of the time required to collect, collate and release the data on which their commentaries are based, the data can be seriously out of date. This is especially the case if there are more recent government changes in funding, rising tuition fees, and changes to the amount of student support available, which impact on family decisions to enrol an offspring at university.

Tuition increases lower than usual at U.S. universities

5 Signs You Might Be at Risk for DiabetesBy Kellie Rowe. Many universities across the U.S. are putting the smallest tuition increases in years in place this summer. One reason could be increases in state funding to schools.
The time of year has arrived for higher education administrators to buckle down to determine tuition costs before the fall, and many universities are giving students' pocketbooks a bit of a break.  Despite years of consistent raises, some universities are experiencing lower tuition increases than years past.

Tuition fee hike out of touch with economic reality

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Rok Primozic. Plans to raise tuition fees in Armenia up to 30% could have devastating consequences for Armenian society, as it would severely limit students’ chances of gaining access to higher education. Tuition fees were already increased by 15% on average in May at many public and private universities. This is out of proportion with the country’s socioeconomic development given that students have to pay US$1,048 in tuition fees on average a year when nominal salaries are only about $260 a month.

Des frais universitaires plus élevés pour gagner en attractivité scientifique internationale

http://lecercle.lesechos.fr/sites/default/files/defaults/logo-small.pngPar Michel Albouy. Au-delà de la question du visa pour favoriser l’accueil des étudiants étrangers se pose la question du coût de la scolarité des étudiants étrangers. Une question laissée en déshérence par la nouvelle loi sur l’enseignement supérieur. Et pourtant, il serait temps de se poser cette question qui concerne autant les finances des universités que celles des contribuables.
La cause est entendue: ce n’est pas demain qu’on demandera aux étudiants des universités françaises de cotiser, même modestement, aux frais de leur scolarité. Ni même qu’on donnera aux universités publiques le droit de pouvoir choisir leurs étudiants et leurs professeurs. L’ancienne loi LRU qui vient d’être rabotée (très légèrement) par la nouvelle loi Fioraso ne reviendra pas sur ces intouchables vaches sacrées de l’exception universitaire française. Mais quid de l’attractivité de nos universités pour attirer les meilleurs étudiants étrangers?
À l’heure de la concurrence internationale pour attirer les meilleurs "cerveaux" internationaux, la France met en avant comme argument majeur la gratuité des études supérieures dans ses universités. Est-ce suffisant? Est-ce normal? Deux questions lancinantes, surtout vu l’état de nos finances publiques et de la baisse d’attractivité du site France. La modicité des frais d’inscription dans les universités françaises (300 euros pour un master) est-elle un atout? Suite de l'article...
http://lecercle.lesechos.fr/sites/default/files/defaults/logo-small.png By Michel Albouy. Beyond the issue of visas to facilitate the reception of foreign students is the question of the cost of tuition for foreign students. A question left unclaimed by the new law on higher education. More...

Les frais d’inscription universitaires sont-ils toujours un sujet tabou ?

http://www.tnova.fr/sites/all/themes/basic/images/interface/logo/TerraNova-logo.jpgCompte-rendu du débat « Poings de vue »: Les frais d’inscription universitaires sont-ils toujours un sujet tabou? avec P. Courtioux, E. Zemmour animée par M. Andler et L. Daudet.
Alors que l’enseignement universitaire est au cœur de l’actualité avec une « loi Fioraso » qui divise les opinions, Terra Nova a organisé un débat sur un autre sujet brûlant bien que souvent éludé: le montant des droits d’inscription universitaires.
Dans un contexte budgétaire difficile, alors que les missions de l’université se voient étendues, on constate une forte disparité selon les filières au niveau du financement des études, alors que dans le même temps, l’enseignement supérieur peine à jouer son rôle d’ascenseur social.
Terra Nova avait proposé en 2011 une augmentation modérée des frais d’inscription à l’université, sous réserve de refonte des aides existantes. Mais ce positionnement implique de nombreuses autres questions:
    * Comment utiliser de manière optimale cet argent (augmenter les bourses ou donner plus de moyens à l’université)?
    * Comment gérer les inégalités avec les étudiants étrangers?
    * De nouveaux modèles économiques (remboursement différé, etc…) sont-ils acceptables?
    * Est-il judicieux de faire un comparatif de la situation dans les autres pays?
    * Une trop forte augmentation n’annonce-t-elle pas un désengagement de l’Etat?
Pour répondre à ces questions, nous vous invitions à débattre à la Bellevilloise sur le thème:
« Les frais d’inscription universitaires sont-ils toujours un sujet tabou? »
Pour répondre à cette question et débattre autour de ce thème, nous avons reçu:
Pierre Courtioux, directeur adjoint de recherche à l’EDHEC
Emmanuel Zemmour, président de l’UNEF
Martin Andler et Laurent Daudet, coordinateurs du pôle "Enseignement supérieur et recherche" de Terra Nova, animaient ce débat.

Handling complaints in the high fees age

Times Higher EducationBy Jack Grove. As students grow keener to stand up for their rights over perceived wrongs, is the sector doing all it can to be consistent, fair and prompt when resolving disputes? Are universities ready for the surge of complaints predicted to come their way once the new generation of £9,000 fee-paying students begin to flex their consumer-rights muscles? With this year’s undergraduate intake encouraged to demand value for money for higher fees, it is a question that institutions, students’ unions and the sector’s complaints handlers have been thinking hard about.

Student complaints rise by 25%: do higher fees mean higher expectations?

http://static.guim.co.uk/static/52d815893c0bfcee12d23664c32ec9774107a840/common/images/logos/the-guardian/titlepiece.gifBy Rob Behrens. Perhaps, says independent adjudicator Rob Behrens. Butcuts in university resources are creating a more dangerous equation. As the independent adjudictor for higher education in England and Wales, I recently hosted the annual meeting of the European network of higher education ombudsmen (ENOHE). The exchange was invaluable. What stood out was the struggle that many campus ombudsmen – in Germany and the Netherlands for example – face to resolve complaints brought by their students.
