Students escape the fees nightmare

Almost 22,000 students are to study in another country. But the amount is getting bigger and bigger because of the introduction of the higher tuition fee this year. Unlike Holland who is very generous and pays a student 1,500 pounds a year for their course. In Denmark and Sweden tuition costs nothing at all. There are a couple of Student World Fair where students can check out the overseas universities.  Some of the university exhibitors offer free flights and accommodation to prospective students who want to visit before applying. They offer them this because British students are in demand. Their works is valued and admired.  
I get the point why British students are willing to go abroad and study. Studying in the UK is just simply too expensive. However the article talks about how generous Holland and that it pays you 1500 pound a year. This is not the case for everyone. Yes some of them do get 1500 pounds a year but most of them don’t and if you don’t manage to get your degree in 10 years you will have to pay everything back. I think the government should do something about it because education is the most important thing there is and they are not helping the students by making it that expensive. If they would lower the costs more people would go to school and get a higher degree.
