Aaron is responding to the Government’s Higher Education White Paper, which is due to be published later today. Universities and Science Minister, David Willetts MP earlier took to the airwaves to promote the key measures he hopes to introduce.
Aaron Porter said: “To use proposals for more information as a justification for lifting the cap on fees to £9,000 is outrageous and will not fool students and their families. It's the price rather than educational standards, that will have tripled.
“Ministers are at risk of creating stability for the perceived best but complete chaos for the rest. The vast majority of university entrants, who don't get the very best grades, will be treated to complete market chaos and real uncertainty about their universities and courses.”
A statement and questions are expected in the House of Commons at approximately 3.30pm and the document is expected to be available shortly afterwards.
