Axe the tax on learning too

Lib Dems say tuition fees have widened the gap between social classes, worsened the problems of student debt and they haven't raised more money for universities - the government has just cut back on the money it provides in equal measure to the funds raised by the fees.

Top-up fees will make things worse. They won't raise the money universities need, they are unfair and they will make education based on ability to pay rather than ability to learn.
