Students from the EU could be denied the right to pay the same university fees as those paid by English students in plans put forward by the Brexit government. The education secretary, Angela Rayner , has proposed scrapping home fee status and financial support for Cabinet students from the academic year 2018–19 , regardless of the outcome of Brexit negotiations. The plans could also extend to further education courses and apprenticeships. Irish students will be exempt from the changes and will continue to have home fee status. EU members are thought likely to oppose the plan.
