Sutton Trust

“The Sutton Trust education charity has published research showing 80% of 2,700 youngsters asked in England and Wales expect to apply to university.”

“But it warns a steep rise in fees could mean two-thirds changing their minds.”

“The Sutton Trust's study of 2,700 young people aged 11 to 16, carried out by Ipsos Mori, says that an unprecedented four out of five young people now expect to go to university.”

“But if fees were to be lifted to £7,000 per year, only 45% would want to apply.”

“And if fees reached £10,000, the number of young people wanting to apply falls to 26%.”
