Meanwhile, spending on Pell Grants -- the biggest source of federal aid for low-income students -- fell for the first time in six years. Averaging that one drop with all the other increases and you still have quite an increase. The increase in the dollars available for student aid is one of the reasons that education costs almost always go up faster than the general rate of inflation. Another reason, is that its harder to improve productivity in education than in other areas, at least if your going to retain the standard classroom method of teaching people.
