I don't know
how do other countries manage? Less money for benefits, less allowing bussiness to evade taxes, and more money to Universities.

smaller percentage of the population going to university

no, lower % of people going into HE, I expect.
(the benefits thing really is a massive load of Mail inspired bullshit, you know that, right? we really don't spend a fortune on benefits here. Try, oh, say, Ireland as a comparison)

Also, a lot of other countries allow high levels of private funding of universities. Financially useful, but academically and morally very questionable.

I think you're right there
too many going for HE.
