The crisis reaches UK universities. Inflation weighs on capped enrollments and Sunak's speech discourages foreign students.
A British student who wants to enroll in a university degree or postgraduate degree must pay 9,250 pounds sterling per year in tuition (about 10,800 euros) The amount has been limited by law for a decade, leaving universities to face rampant inflation and competition that forces them to hire professors with attractive salaries and offer a wide variety of degrees and courses. Until 1998, access to higher education was absolutely free in the United Kingdom.
