Adrian Sanders MP Makes Pledge to Voters on Student Fees

Adrian Sanders today signed a pledge to voters ahead of the forthcoming general election that he will vote against any increase in tuition fees in the next Parliament.

The National Union of Students has launched the Vote for Students campaign to encourage candidates to pledge to protect student interests by opposing attempts to lift the cap on student top-up fees.

There are around 7400 students at South Devon College studying for a range of further and higher education qualifications while several hundred Torbay teenagers leave the area every year to go to university.

Adrian said: “Further and Higher education should be open to everyone with the necessary ability; they should not be deterred by high fees and a mountain of debt.  This is why I will be opposing any increases in the tuition fee cap and the Liberal Democrats will continue to campaign for the abolition of tuition fees.”
