British universities, 【C1】______ under the burden of a huge increase in student numbers, are 【C2】______ that the tradition of a free education is at 【C3】______ . The universities have 【C4】______ to impose an admission fee on students to 【C5】______ a gap in revenue if the government does not act to improve their finances and 【C6】______ some public spending cutbacks.

One in three school-leavers enters higher education, five times the number when the last review took place thirty years ago.

The Confederation of British Industry, the key employers’ organization, wants even more expansion in higher education to help fight competition on world markets from 【C18】______ Asian economies. But the government has doubts 【C19】______ more expansion. The Times newspaper agrees, complaining that quality has suffered as student numbers 【C20】______ , with close tutorial supervision giving way to "mass production methods more typical of European universities."
