Whilst tuition fees in Ireland have not really risen - registration fees have gone from €200 to €3,000 over the 08-14'recession. In the UK fees have also risen. Finland and Denmark are free. I'm not that familiar with Southern or Eastern Europe.
I think free third level institutions are important but I'm not opposed to the "free now tax later after certain pay threshold" education systems like Australia.
Also [image] this: https://i.imgur.com/SXNtYyi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SXNtYyi.jpg taken from corrosponding reddit thread is also relevant. It illustrates tuition fees in Europe.
- dasboth 12y agoTechnically not all university education is free in Hungary. If you don't get the required grades to get in but your grades are above a certain threshold you can pay tuition fees and go on the course.

- icebraining 12y agoA problem with that graphic is that it's not adjusted to the local purchasing power. 1000€/year is very different for someone who earns, say, 1440€/month (minimum wage in France) compared to someone who earns 505€/month (minimum wage here in Portugal).
- _of 12y agoSweden is also free. Plus you get 1100 SEK/month in assistance from the government.
- Tehnix 12y agoYou get a nice 5900 DKK/Month (7217 SEK or 1000$) here in Denmark :)
