LONDON, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- British Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has announced that university tuition fees in England will increase by 3.1 percent next year, the first rise since 2016.
The hike, attributed to inflation, will bring the maximum annual fee up to 9,535 pounds (12,335 U.S. dollars). Alongside this, maintenance loans for students will also see a 3.1 percent increase to help cover living expenses.
