A Study on New Tuition Fee and Grant Systems in England : A step towards the expansion of opportunity for students from lower income groups

英国在2006-07学年引入了新的学费制度，作为一种收入或有条件贷款：学生在大学开始学习时不需要支付学费，但在毕业后收入超过固定数额时可以开始作为税款偿还。从理论上讲，这一制度的采用给了低收入群体的学生上大学的机会，因为他们在开始学习时不需要提供大量的资金。此外，那些未能获得高收入的学生的剩余债务在毕业25年后免除，从而缓解了学生对债务的焦虑。因此，英国新的学费制度可以为我们提供一个新的视角，以扩大低收入群体学生的机会。

The new tuition fee system that was introduced in England in the academic year 2006-07 acts as an income contingent loan : students are not required to pay tuition fees at the beginning of their study at university, but can start repaying them as tax when their income exceeds a fixed amount after graduation. The adoption of this system, in theory, gives students from lower income groups the opportunity to attend university since they do not need to provide a large amount of money at the beginning of their study. In addition, the remaining debt of those who fail to earn high lifetime incomes is remitted twenty-five years after graduation, thereby relieving students of their anxiety over their debt. Thus, the English new tuition fee system can give us a fresh perspective in terms of the expansion of opportunity for students from lower income groups.
