If they can't afford it, yes. If they're able to afford it I personally think no. But that's only if necessary.

Free for very poor students with outstanding academic abilities, but also adjusting tuition costs across the board based on income.

Free tuition, but only for in-demand degrees in the STEM fields, medical professions etc. Cut enrolment numbers for useless degrees in the humanities such as gender studies.

Yes, the school system should be revamped however to engage with everyone. Some younger students may not receive the best support at home or lack language skills when they’re younger to enter the track for university.

Yes, but only to students that come from a family earning less than €200,000 per year. If a student comes from a family that earns over €200,000 but less than €600,000 then the school should cost 50%. But if the student comes from a family that makes over €600,000 but less than €1,000,000 then the student should have to pay full tuition. (Or another plan like this)

The current system for public universities suffices

No, but abolish interest rates for student loans.

In my country its not completely free, it’s 180 euros per semester for services but I gladly pay that. It should not be much more expensive than that
