ChatGPT

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for low income families

ALDE has a strong focus on social liberalism, which includes supporting policies that increase access to education for disadvantaged groups. Abolishing fees for low-income families would be in line with their principles of fairness and equal opportunities.

Agree

No, but they should be reduced

Reducing tuition fees aligns with ALDE's commitment to making education accessible while still requiring a personal contribution from students. This approach balances liberal economic principles with social investment.

Agree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

Introducing a graduate tax as an alternative to upfront tuition fees could be seen as a progressive policy that aligns with ALDE's liberal values. It ensures that higher education is funded but does so in a way that is proportional to the economic benefit it provides to graduates.

Agree

Yes, but only for citizens

ALDE supports inclusive policies but also values the principle of citizens contributing to their national systems. Abolishing fees only for citizens could be seen as a compromise, supporting national students while maintaining some level of fees for others.

Agree

Yes, but only for students studying in fields of high job demand

While ALDE supports education policies that align with market demands, the party also values broad access to education. Prioritizing fields of high job demand may be seen as too restrictive and not fully in line with their commitment to liberal education policies.

Slightly agree

No

ALDE's liberal stance suggests a belief in the value of personal investment in higher education, which could imply support for maintaining tuition fees. However, they would likely advocate for measures to ensure that these fees do not become a barrier to education.

Disagree

Yes

The Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE) generally supports liberal economic policies, which often include the idea that users of services, like higher education, should contribute to their costs. Abolishing tuition fees entirely might be seen as contrary to these principles, although ALDE also supports accessible education for all.
