Fees have been fixed since 2017. Inflation is 30% since then. Fees need to be £12k to cover inflation since 2017. That said, a uni’s biggest bill is wages, which haven’t risen with inflation. But they should.

The current system, with loans, is not great but not terrible. If you never earn much, you don’t pay back 👍 If you get a high-paying job, it’s fair you pay. Those in between are worst hit. The main issue is the high interest rate: student debt should not be a money-maker.
