OK get this... with all these new countries joining the EU, my dad has noticed lots of coaches arriving in London with Eastern Bloc citizens looking for work. I don't mind that. What I don't like is the fact that the BRITISH government will have to pay the tuition fees for the students that come to learn here.
However Gibraltar, a British DEPENDENT state, sends students to Britain because there is no university in Gib. The Gibraltar government has to fork out the money for tuition fees for these students. They pay £6000 a year for my cousin to study here.
Gibraltar generates quite a bit of money for itself due to tourism and suchlike, but for 100 students to study in Britain...£600,000 A YEAR! That is a lot of money for a 30,000 population 2.5 x 2 mile piece of rock. And they probably send out more than 100 students.
Why don't these countries have to pay for their own students?
