that's correct but not the point. i agree that students should make a contribution, i also think it should vary according to the type of degree taken. students taking vocational degrees like engineering, computing, law, medicine etc should pay less than people taking some arts degrees and stupid degrees like media studies. But it shouldn't be just the student that contributes. After living expenses etc students are going to have loans of £50k+ which is prohibitive to poorer students. and before you say poor students won't have to pay, there'll be a lot of students who are not considered poor but whose parents couldn't afford to contribute anything.
