We, the undersigned members of the Labour Party, believe that education is a public good, which benefits society as a whole. It should be paid for through general taxation, with the rich paying the most. We reject other mechanisms to make individuals pay for education, such as tuition fees and the “graduate tax”, which undermine universalism and perpetuate the idea that education is an individual privilege and not a social right.
