I believe in "equity" so that we should expect for what we paid for.
"Equity" shall be protected! Therefore, we should expect to get for what we paid for.
Well, the government just announced abolition of the "cap" on the tuition fee. So, it's totally up to individual educational institutions' choice.
Some schools with a high demand and/or a high cost eventually put their tuition up.
But, some... schools won't be able to raise their tuition so much as the demand may decrease so the revenue may decrease.
This country is a sort of weired as the financial administration of all universities is centralised. I think, as same as the other countries, it will be beneficial to decentralise the decision making for a financial administration.
Furthermore, if the government keeps the currently ongoing lump-sum subsidies under the unfair (not "equitable") system, the government will suffer from a huge budget deficit so that will raise a tax or incur national debt. But, as long as I observe the current UK situation, this public expenditure doesn't seem to stimulate the productivity enough! If I were the government official, I would have done the same thing as the current government. I shall abolish a waste of "public" money invested into an unproductive investment!
The matter is that we need to think as though the person or the organisation who invests to it. The investors don't care where they are from: They care about how the clients of their investment benefit back to them for what they invested to.
Furthermore, I disagree with the centralised administration for the education system. All school shoulds have a different policy. Some good schools inevitably have kds from wealthy background, but they may provide a scholarship (not by government, by this school finance) to some talents from poor background. Some schools just gather students from various schools as the total revenue will increase so that it may be possible to raise the level of education to compete with traditional good schools. :)
I don't care too much about the social mobility. As same as Mrs. Thatcher said, parental responsibility should be more emphasised in this country more! The counter-revolution against the Nanny-state should take place soon as posible!
Overall, I strongly support this government agenda and Mrs. Thatcher.

In addition, although these countries participate into the EU central taxation system, the quantity of tax payment is not symmetric.
In consequence, some individuals in the EU paying less tax take an advantage of this system than those paying more tax.
On the top of it, the EU central fiscal policy is not full centralised so that the fiscal regulation (e.g. controlling and reducing underground economy) is not fairly applied to all the countries.
Therefore, if we want to expect the fully subsidised education for all the EU citizens, the more strictly centralised and fairly censored fiscal regulation should be strongly required!
At least, they should abolish both the free tuition fee and the lump-sum subsidy for EU citizens! The EU fiscal policy is compromised, disorganised, and assymetric! Some EU citizens paying less get more than those who pay more now! If I were an EU citizen, this is a legitimate reason to provoke a coup d'etat against the administration! This is why I would definitely support the UKIP if I were a British citizen.
All in all, at this current situation, I strongly disagree with the fully subsidised education for all the EU citizens unless the previously mentioned condition is fulfilled.
