 Tuition Fees - Fullchat
Recently it was announced that tuition fees are to increase.

I did not go on to higher education but have gained qualifications in further education - one night a week for a couple of years sort of thing.

In a few years I have the potential prospect of 2 daughters bleeding me dry whilst they go to Uni.

I do commute through a Uni area and would hazard a guess that the Uni year is about 8 months maybe less, I'm not sure. So what do the Lecturers/Professors do the remainder of the time?

So in this 'best value' culture would it be practical to actually make everyone actually work a full year; notwithstanding say 6 weeks leave, so that courses could be completed say in 18 months thereby reducing student costs?

Or is academia one of the last bastions of restrictive practices?
