Extra funding for universities from higher tuition fees will be 'almost
entirely swallowed up' by Labour 's hike to national insurance• Страхование, experts have
warned.

The Higher Education• Образование » Высшее образование » Высшее учебное заведение » Канцлер (образование) Policy Institute (HEPI) said universities would only be
marginally better off due to the impact of Chancellor• Образование » Высшее образование » Высшее учебное заведение » Канцлер (образование) Rachel Reeves ' tax
raid.

This is despite students having to pay hundreds of pounds more per year in
fees from September, after ministers announced the first rise in tuition fees
since 2017.

HEPI pointed to an Institute for Fiscal Studies analysis that showed raising
the tuition fees cap from £9,250 a year to £9,535 a year would spare
universities a real-terms cut of £390million next year.

But they also highlighted a warning by the Universities and Colleges Employers
Association that April's rise in employers' national insurance• Страхование contributions
(NICs) - as annnounced at the Budget - will add an estimated £372million to
the sector's pay bill.

An £18million net• Страхование » Нетто gain for the sector - or an average of under £45,000 for
each of the more than 400 providers on the Office for Students' register -
would only allow them to employ a single new staff member each, HEPI warned.

In an article for Research Professional , HEPI director Nick Hillman said: 'We
seem to be expecting young students to borrow a slug more money to pay higher
fees that will then be almost entirely eaten up by a national insurance• Страхование rise.'

He added the extra revenue from the NICs hike would then 'largely go on public
services that are used more heavily by older people'.

'Many people believe we need an intergenerational shift in policy, but they
don't usually mean a further shift in resources from younger people to older
people, which is what this appears to be,' Mr Hillman wrote.

He suggested that tuition fees should instead jump to around £10,000 per
student per year.

This would 'recognise the impact of inflation and ensure universities can
cover the higher national insurance• Страхование payments and have any additional resource
left over to improve the student experience', Mr Hillman added.

Tuition fees had previously remained frozen at £9,250 per year in England
since 2017.

Ms Phillipson said the tuition fees cap was being increased by £285 per year
due to the 'severe financial challenges' facing universities.

She said there had been a 'significant real-terms decline in their income' due
to rampant inflation in recent years.

The Tories attacked Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over his previous pledge
to 'abolish' tuition fees when he was campaigning to be Labour leader in 2020.

They also highlighted how Ms Phillipson wrote a newspaper article last year
that told graduates they would 'pay less' under a Labour government.

The Education• Образование » Высшее образование » Высшее учебное заведение » Канцлер (образование) Secretary was quizzed last night about whether universities
would actually be better off from the rise in tuition fees, when coupled with
the looming increase in NICs.

She told Channel 4 News: 'Like all businesses, it’s for universities to decide
how they manage their budgets. Universities are autonomous independent
institutions. They prize that.

'But what I would say is that when we set out details around the secondary
legislation that will be laid before parliament, we will publish an impact
assessment around that as well.'

Commenting on fears that universities will be no better off due to Labour's
tax raid, Tory shadow education minister Neil O'Brien said: 'So every single
penny graduates are paying goes on Labour's own tax hike on workers. One
broken promise pays for another broken promise.'
