| Description: |
Higher education finances lie at the crossroads in many Western countries. This book discusses the political and social controversy associated with most forms of cost-sharing, particularly with tuition fees. It covers important issues in terms of the context of social policy, such as the role of families and students. |
| Synopsis: |
The demand and the costs for higher education have risen steeply in recent years. The most common response worldwide has been some form of cost sharing: shifting per-student costs from governments and taxpayers to parents and students. This timely book provides a comprehensive discussion of the concepts and consequences of cost-sharing in higher education. It offers a comparative approach based on several national case-studies, and proposes alternatives to prevalent approaches. |
