Introduce tiered caps for international student fees

Closed 110 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to implement a tiered university tuition fee structure for international students, varying fee caps based on university ranking, programme costs and local living expenses, ensuring fairness and transparency.
A tiered university fee cap structure for international students could ensure fairness, align fees with educational value and aid transparency. It could also help students to make informed choices based on clear fee distinctions tied to university rankings, programme costs and local living costs. We think this could also promote equity in education, effective management of university resources, and enhance England’s attractiveness as a top destination for global education.
