I don't know how it works in the UK, but since the federal government has gotten involved in higher education the inflation rates for college have exceeded the average inflation by about six times. Why? Because the schools know that they can make the cost of education expensive and the actual burden won't be on the students but rather the government. If I were born in 1960 I could afford my top private (as a poor student - bottom 5%) by working part-time - 20 hours a week. Today because of high inflation rates I need to be subsidized 3/5th of my tuition/cost of education by my university, 1/5th by the federal government (loans/grants), and I still work part-time (20 hours) to pay the rest off. I'd rather the first option than the second, because in the end I would have much less debt.
Honestly, I don't think the solution is to give more money to the universities and allow them to have control over prices like they do now because of subsidies.
