Article Abstract:
British citizens accept that students will have to pay more for higher education if the system is to maintain its high quality. More students are entering universities and colleges, as much as 32 percent of those who completed secondary school in 1997, up from 5 percent in 1963. The increase in the number of students without a corresponding per-student increase in fees results in less money available to pay teachers and provide equipment. If the quality of higher education is to be maintained, experts predict that students should pay 1,000 pounds sterling per year of higher education.

Higher education in the US is being financially challenged as never before. Tuition costs have hit the ceiling while colleges struggle with dwindling revenues. Schools are going to have to prioritize instead of trying to offer everything to everybody.
