Fees debate obscures purpose of higher education

Fees have little effect, says nine-country study

By Mike Teece. A study of changes in higher education financing in nine European countries that included the impact of higher student fees, has uncovered little evidence of a fall-off in demand resulting from universities charging students more.
Commissioned by the European Commission and conducted by Canadian higher education expert Alex Usher, the study found that “rises in fees seemingly have no detectable negative effect on aggregate demand and enrolment – unless the change is exceptionally large”. Read more...
