It's worth pointing out that, in the UK at least, the current value of tuition fees is considerably less than the cost of tuition. Finding the number instantly is hard, but off the top of my head it's something of the order of 10%-33%.

(One of the (many) things that really pisses me off about the student finance debate - since at least 1988 - is how rarely these numbers are produced, which is why they're hard to find. Surely the actual cost of tuition is a pretty relevant figure to include in any discussion of how much prospective students should pay for their tuition? But apparently not.)
