The Effect of a Tuition Fee Reform on the Risk of Drop Out from University in the UK

چکیده
This paper investigates whether the increase in university tuition fees in 2006 changed student drop out behaviour.

The effect persisted beyond 2006 with a substantial additional effect arising from the 2008-10 recession. There is indirect evidence of a composition effect resulting in a fall in dropout rates, but debt aversion does not appear to determine drop out
