Does Belgium distribute the cost of higher education across the taxpayer base? In other words, is university “free” for Belgium?

- koffiezet 7y agoYes it's mostly tax-funded, and I'm fine with that tbh, in my eyes it's a bit the same as a healthcare system. Your situation at home shouldn't limit your health situation or educational potential. It's also not "free" for everybody. How much you pay also depends on situation your household is in (mostly a combination from total income and how many kids you have). It's possible that you have to pay nothing, or in worst case something like €5000/year for university, but then you're in situation where you can easily afford it (healthy upper/mid class double income and only one kid).
