Discrimination against ENGLISH students

England has a correspondingly larger population to support its students.

Because FarNorth there are far too many students in England, Scotland only has a small population.

This is nothing new, it's been the case for years. Scottish/EU would-be students pay for it by having fewer places available to them. There are strict limits on how many Scots/EU students can go to Scottish universities while any number of RUK/Overseas students can attend.

Welsh students at Welsh universities only pay about a third of the usual £9,000 plus.

No-one is providing free tuition for English and Welsh students attending English and Welsh universities.
Why not campaign about that?

No wonder Scotland's budget deficit is the largest in the EU and double the rate of the UK as a whole.

Yet another reason to be glad we are leaving the EU then.

"Because of European law, the Scottish government also has to provide free tuition at Scottish universities for students from other EU countries - but not for those from other parts of the UK.
Essentially this is because it is possible to discriminate between students from different parts of an individual member state but not to discriminate against those from other parts of the EU."

"The standard tuition fee for an undergraduate degree course in Scotland in 2016 is £1,820.
The Student Awards Agency for Scotland (SAAS) will pay these fees if you meet eligibility conditions; for example, if you are a Scottish resident and/or a qualifying non-UK EC student.
If you come from the Rest of the UK (RUK), universities in Scotland will charge you variable fees up to a maximum of £9,000 just like England and Wales.
Undergraduate Scholarships and Bursaries are available for eligible students from England, Northern Ireland and Wales to help offset these higher fees."

Why indeed? Another question to be answered by the ghastly Sturgeon.
