Have you put off applying to university because of uncertainty over tuition fees?

Jeremy Corbyn pledged to abolish tuition fees during this year’s general election. If Labour won, he said new university students would be freed from paying £9,000 as early as the autumn 2017.

The policy prompted much discussion around the cost of higher education. Although Labour did not win, the Conservative cabinet minister Damian Green said the Tories need a national debate on university tuition fees.

We want to hear from students who have just finished their A-levels about whether possible policy changes around this are stopping you from applying to university. Are you waiting to see what will happen with fees? Is the cost of going to university now far too much?

We also want to hear from teachers about whether you are noticing more students deferring or putting university off altogether.
