Teenagers begin high court challenge against tuition fee rise

In this article, is about two teenagers named Two teenagers have begun a case in the high court against the government's decision to let universities almost treble tuition fees for the upcoming year. Both teens argued that the overall decision to to raise fees to up to $9,000 a year from next fall semester. The two students and their lawyer argue that this unfair increase in tuition is a violation and is in the breach of the right to education protected in the Humans Rights Act of 1988. In this act although it doesn't offer free education guarantees, but it does place curbs on steps that limit access to higher education. These statements are going to be the main focus in the upcoming court case. The decision to treble fees was a "major policy change affecting the life chances of a generation of students and billions of pounds of public expenditure", the documents outlining the claimants argument say.
This case will be one of many that test the Humans Rights Act and in my opinion this case has a great chance of winning due to the substantial amount of evidence and facts that would prove that these tuition fees will affect more than just a couple of thousand students. This is a social problem that will slowly but surely end up affecting our nation as a whole. I personally commend these two students for having the courage to stand up and fight for the rights it takes a lot of courage to do that especially when you have to take the issue to the courts. I am totally for this!
