LabelShd university student get fees paidC542
Question text At present, some full-time university students have to pay a £1000 tuition fee. Others have all or part of the fee paid by the government. Whether they have to pay or not depends upon the student's circumstances and those of their family. Do you think that... all students should get their tuition fees paid, some students, depending on their circumstances, should get their tuition fees paid, as now, or, no students should get their tuition fees paid by the government?
