Read this article...The Government has rejected plans for a graduate tax to replace tuition fees. An independent review is currently examining whether tuition fees should be raised or even replaced. In regards to the proposed idea of a graduate tax, Tim Farron, Lib Dem MP said “Tuition fees are a poll tax and we need to change that. If [as a graduate] you earn £20,000, you should pay a bit and if you earn £220,000, you should pay a lot. The objective is fairness.”
Tim is right. In a time of job uncertainty, the disparity in salaries among graduates is exceptionally high. Many graduates coming out of university are getting jobs paying £18-20k while many others are earning closer to £50k after just a couple of years of working. It is only fair that a progressive tax policy ensures that those able to, pay more . The ~£3,000 tuition fees constitute a far larger piece of disposable income for those on lower incomes, who in many cases contribute far more to society in public sector roles such as health care.
