"I think graduates quite rightly feel very sore, because they're sort of running to stand still."
"Sir Nick Clegg was deputy prime minister under David Cameron. While deputy prime minister, his coalition government trebled tuition fees in England to a maximum of 9,000 a year from 2012. Sir Nick Clegg eventually apologised for failing to stop the increase and for breaking an election pledge."
Nick Clegg, former Liberal Democrats leader and deputy prime minister, stated that the university tuition system is deeply unfair for students and proposed a future institution to oversee student loan terms. He acknowledged responsibility for costly tuition fee increases implemented during his time in government, though he clarified he was not responsible for subsequent changes like the repeated freezing of the graduate repayment threshold. Clegg admitted graduates rightfully feel frustrated as they struggle financially. During his coalition government with David Cameron, tuition fees in England were trebled to a maximum of £9,000 annually from 2012. He previously apologized for failing to prevent the increase and breaking an election pledge on this issue.
