Talks go on as one uni looks to increase fees
Saturday 24th December 2011, 2:29PM GMT.
EDUCATION is still holding talks with some universities about the fees they will charge Guernsey students from next year.
The department announced this week that it had struck a deal with Universities UK that would save parents from having to bear the full brunt of the rise in tuition fees, which could cost each UK student up to £9,000 from next year.
Most universities have said that they will charge Channel Islands students the same as those from the UK but the Guernsey Press can reveal that 12 institutions have indicated they will charge different fees.
At present, only one university has said it will charge a higher rate for Guernsey students and in some cases the new fees will be cheaper than they are at the moment.

Does this mean that guernsey students will be able to go to university in Scotland for the same cost as going to English universities? This is interesting given that English students have to pay more than Scottish students.
Is the states investigating French universities as an alternative as the closest country to us? We should encourage our young to study a range of subjects in France while learning French.
