The head of the Russell Group, Professor Michael Stirling, calculated that in total, England's leading universities will have 4 billion pounds less than their American rivals. Even despite the fact that over the next five years the level of income from one English student will grow from 1,700 to 7,200 pounds per year, the increase in fees does not solve the financial problems of English educational institutions. The professor's data were confirmed by an independent study by the Oxford Centre for Higher Education Policy Studies. OxCHEPS specialists also cited the figure of 4 billion pounds as the difference in income between universities on both sides of the Atlantic.
