The introduction of higher university tuition fees in England for the coming academic year has coincided with a sharp fall in the number of applicants, official figures have revealed.
According to the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas), the number of students applying for university places this year has fallen by 3.4 per cent compared with 2005.
Opponents of higher fees have latched on to the findings as evidence of the negative impact the £3,000-a-year fees will have on student numbers.

Pressure on the United States over its military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba mounted Thursday as UN Secretary General Kofi Annan called for closure 'as soon as possible.'
Annan's words reinforced the findings released earlier Thursday of a panel of five UN human rights investigators, who condemned the facility as a place of torture and rights abuses that should be closed.

Acupressure can help ease lower back pain and may be more effective than physical therapy, according to new research.
Researchers in Taiwan studied 129 patients with chronic lower back pain and found that those treated with six sessions of acupressure had a significantly lower disability score after treatment than those that received physical therapy.
The scientists from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, claim that acupressure resulted in an 89 per cent fall in disability, compared with physical therapy, and the improvement lasted for six months.
