What education fees are you talking about? Everywhere in Europe universities are free with the exception of England.
- rscho 6y agoNo. University is not free everywhere in Europe. Fees are relatively low but there is a sustained push to increase them. Additionally, even low fees are enough to deter the poorest since modern universities prevent you from having a real part-time job.
- jcelerier 6y agoif you are actually the poorest the only fees in France for instance are 15€ a year (and you get state scholarship every month) - the criterion currently is your parents making less than 33k€). If not it's 300€ a year for university - it's more but not unachievable either when compared to the situation in the US.
- rscho 6y agoAgreed. You also have to factor in that scholarships are far less widespread in Europe, though. The french left wing is quite strong and I doubt the situation is as good in many countries of the EU. I freely admit that I am not an expert. Just my 2c.
- phreeza 6y agoGermany introduced fees a while ago but then rolled them back.
