Should Stormont hike up student fees to help with the financial burden from budget cuts? Finance Minister Simon Hamilton has said he would consider an 'increase in student fees that would go to support the higher education sector, through some of the difficulties it is going to have in the next financial year.' Should we protect the workforce of tomorrow? Or is it right that those who decide they want further education - pay for it? Tara gets the views of student and commentator Sarah Wright and broadcaster Ian Collins.
