Re: Not a UK issue
There are still no university fees in Scotland.
There are. It's just that they are paid for by the Government (i.e. the taxpayers in general) rather than by the student themselves. Same as it used to be in England.
There are university fees, and there always have been. It's just that the ludicrous (IMHO) aim of 50% of kids going through university was felt to be too much of a drain on the general taxpayers in England (and Wales and NI). Whereas Scotland recognises university education as an investment in its future.
