According to British Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson, the first increase in university tuition fees in England since 2016 will be 3.1 percent next year.

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.

Phillipson highlighted financial challenges in higher education and hinted at upcoming reforms aimed at expanding access for disadvantaged students.

Shadow Education Secretary Laura Trott criticized the move, suggesting it adds students to a list of those adversely impacted by recent budget decisions.
