Students In England Are Paying The Highest University Fees In The World

Students in England are paying the highest university fees in the world, according to a study.

Data from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows that the cost of a higher education is larger in England than anywhere else.

Most English universities charge tuition fees of £9,000, meaning that, on average, students there are paying more than in other developed countries.

According to the OECD, which analysed 50 different countries, the average annual fee charged in England is £6,000 ($9,000).

This puts it ahead of the US, which charges an average of £5,300 ($8,000) a student, and Japan, where the average fee is £3,300 ($5,000).

It is the first time the OECD has said that English universities are the most expensive in the world. Last year, UK universities were fifth behind Chile, South Korea, the US and Japan.

While some students in the US pay higher fees, England has the highest average.

The OECD said: “As part of a plan to stabilise university finances, tuition fees in England sharply increased in 2012.

“In parallel, student loan-repayment conditions were improved in order to accommodate the increase in tuition fees.

“As a result, since 1995 the United Kingdom has moved from a system marked by low tuition fees and underdeveloped student-support systems to one that includes high tuition fees and significant public support to students.”

It added: “Higher tuition fees increase the resources available to educational institutions. On the other hand, lower tuition fees can help to promote student access and equity in higher education.”

The report revealed that students at English universities paid twice the amount as their counterparts in Australia and six times more than those in Switzerland and Italy.
