Higher education is strongly controlled by the government and whichever party in power. “Over the next decade, it has been estimated that the federal government will make a profit of over $110 billion on student loan programs (Bernie Sanders, 2016).”
The U.K. has a history of changing tuition policies, especially within the last two decades. It is not simply a slow increase of tuition cost like in the USA. The USA in the past slowly raised prices for higher education. However, since the end of the 1970’s prices have been on a steady incline, while grants are on the decline. As stated in the introduction statistics show that since the 1970’s the US Government has decreased the amount of grants given by about 40%. Also, work study has decreased by about 25%. Since the 1970’s the rate of poverty (especially among children) has increased (Avery and Hoxby, 2014) Meanwhile, prices have increased by 300% including inflation (CollegeBoard, 2016).
