The European Green Party generally supports policies that promote social equity and access to education for all.

Historically, Green parties across Europe have advocated for more affordable education as a means to foster a more equitable society.

Agree

Yes, but only for low income families

Supporting the abolition of tuition fees specifically for low-income families aligns with the European Green Party's focus on social equity and reducing inequalities. This targeted approach helps ensure that those who are most in need receive support, which is in line with their broader social policies.

Agree

Yes, and replace it with a graduate tax

The idea of replacing tuition fees with a graduate tax is something the European Green Party might support as it aligns with their principles of fairness and social equity. This approach ensures that the cost of education is borne more equitably, with graduates contributing back to the system once they are in a position to do so, based on their income.

Agree

No, but they should be reduced

While the European Green Party might prefer the abolition of tuition fees altogether, they could see the reduction of fees as a step in the right direction towards making higher education more accessible. This position could be seen as a compromise solution that balances the need for funding higher education with the goal of reducing financial barriers for students.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for citizens

The European Green Party generally supports inclusive policies that do not discriminate based on nationality. While they might support measures to make education more affordable for all, specifying that only citizens should benefit from abolished tuition fees could be seen as contrary to their principles of inclusivity and equality.

Neutral

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

While the European Green Party supports access to education for all, they might be neutral or slightly cautious about limiting fee abolition to students in fields of high job demand. This approach could be seen as too utilitarian and not fully in line with their values of providing equal educational opportunities regardless of the field of study.

Strongly disagree

No

The European Green Party is unlikely to support maintaining university tuition fees without any form of reform or reduction. Their policies typically focus on reducing barriers to education as part of their commitment to social justice and equality. Maintaining current tuition fee structures without addressing affordability would be contrary to these principles.
