| Message | At the particular moment, when we are investing so much money in Science and Technology and Education, we cannot abolish support for higher education, which provides our economy and other sectors with much needed highly skilled professionals. Therefore we propose, that the reform of the education system should be directed in either of the following directions: * The government fully subsidizes tuition * The government introduces means tested loans for higher education tuition, to be paid back by students after earnings reach a certain amount |
